This is a yearly event to raise awareness about offshore drilling and the need for clean energy. Join hands with us at 12PM at the Brinley Avenue Beach in Bradley Beach to SAY NO to offshore drilling and YES to clean energy!

RSVP TODAY for the best event all year where you can stand up against offshore drilling, unwind with FREE yoga, and enjoy all Bradley Beach has to offer!

We are glad to be hosting Hands Across the Sand for the 3^rd year in a row in Bradley Beach, who was the first town in New Jersey to pass a resolution banning the use of seismic testing off their coast! Seismic airguns are towed behind ships emitting thunderous blasts of pressurized air to look for oil and gas deposits.Seismic airgun testing will negatively impact marine wildlife and coastal ecosystems. According to the Department of Interior, proposed seismic blasting could injure or kill 138,000 whales and dolphins, including the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale.

More alarming is that seismic testing is the first major step toward offshore drilling, which could further harm the marine environment through leaks, oil spills and habitat destruction. Offshore drilling would also threaten our coastal communities, tourist economies, and fisheries.

On May 17^th join others around the world in taking a stand against seismic testing and offshore drilling instead calling for a clean energy future!

Afterwards at 1PM unwind with a FREE beach yoga session hosted by a local yoga instructor.
