#OceanRunnerNH: Hampton Beach Pick-up Patrol

Posted on September 21, 2016

SSC’s Ocean Runner Nichole chats with Marilyn MacIntosh of Hampton, NH, who walks the Hampton Beach every morning, picking up trash along the way. But Marilyn does more that remove debris; she recycles and repurposes as much of what she picks up as possible. Find out how her work is making a big difference not only on Hampton Beach, but also for ocean health.
