TRASH SKIMMER

What is the Trash Skimmer? The trash skimmer looks like a floating dumpster, but it’s much better than that; it operates like a large, industrial-sized pool filter, filtering water 24 hours a day in Stamford Harbor capturing floating debris – from large bottles and pieces of dock foam to tiny, almost invisible microplastics – and absorbing surface oil and other contaminants. SOUNDWATERS MERGES WITH YOUNG MARINERS FOUNDATION This is to share the exciting news that the Boards of SoundWaters and the Young Mariners Foundation have agreed to merge the two organizations under the SoundWaters brand.For the past eighteen years, the Young Mariners Foundation has provided afterschool enrichment classes and summer sailing camp for 5th graders and older children, with over 2,400 underserved

WHY SOUNDWATERS?

Because at SoundWaters we believe through education we can protect and preserve Long Island Sound. Every day, on land and at sea, we educate and inspire children from all backgrounds to understand, value and protect our precious resource of Long Island Sound. When we engage children in rigorous and dynamic hands on science that connects them to the Sound in a meaningful way, their perspective will be forever changed and they will become better students and lifelong environmental stewards who actively protect Long Island Sound. SoundWaters is the #1 choice of schools that study Long Island Sound. It was amazing to watch the students experience Long Island Sound through math and science hands-on lessons. The lessons meet the specific academic needs of our students. However, the most amazing component of the program was watching students develop confidence, problem solving skills, and collaboration when learning to sail on Long Island Sound. This indeed was an experience these students will truly remember forever. DR. TAMU LUCEROSuperintendent of Schools, Stamford SoundWaters is easily one of the most meaningful experiences I provide to my students throughout the school year… I look at my students out on the water and I see a spark in their eyes when they make a real world connection with their classroom lessons, something they would not have experienced absent your generosity.
