Health of local marine waters topic of lecture in Rumson

RUMSON — The Rumson Country Club will host Cindy Zipf, executive director of Clean Ocean Action, who will present “Watershed Mindfulness — We Are All Connected to the Sea” from 11 a.m.-noon Oct. 18 at 163 Rumson Road. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Zipf will speak about the uniqueness and importance of the ocean at the Jersey Shore. She will highlight the ongoing efforts to keep it healthy and the role it plays in the state’s $28 billion clean ocean economy.

Clean Ocean Action focuses on improving the degraded water quality of local coastal waters, and Zipf will discuss the organization’s recent work to address pollution in the Navesink River.

Clean Ocean Action conducted a yearlong investigation into the water quality of the Navesink River and wrote the report, “Pathogen Pollution in the Navesink River,” in response to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s decision to downgrade over 560 acres of shellfish habitat. The report included a Call to Action and launched “Rally for the Navesink,” a grassroots campaign to reduce pollution to ensure the river is safe for fish and families.

“Rumson Garden Club is a founding member of Clean Ocean Action’s coalition and is an essential partner in the success of ocean protection over the last 33 years,” said Rumson Garden Club President Liz Card. “We’re so proud to have a part in their mission of educating the public as to the importance of cleaning up and protecting our ocean.”

Reservations are not required for the lecture. More information can be obtained by calling Club President Liz Card at 732-741-7296.
