Join Save the Sound’s Soundkeeper team for a hands-on event to help transfer abandoned lobster traps recovered from the floor of Long Island Sound into dumpsters provided by our metal recycling facility partner, LaJoie’s. Be ready to get muddy and handle materials weighing 25-50 pounds. Gloves will be provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own.

The Lobster Trap Retrieval and Assessment Partnership (L-TRAP) is a collaborative conservation effort between Save the Sound, The Maritime Aquarium, Project Oceanology, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County, Remote Ecologist and local fishers to improve the ecosystem.

This event takes place just before America Recycles Day, a national initiative celebrated each November to promote recycling and waste reduction.

Wednesday, November 5, from 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Captain’s Cove Seaport, 1 Bostwick Ave, Bridgeport, CT

Rain Date: Thursday, November 6
