The Nahant Beach Dunes Project is proud to participate in the July 5th beach cleanup challenge organized by @surfriderma.

We spent 2.5 hours this morning cleaning the beach and boardwalk in Lynn, as well as part of the Nahant Beach dunes. Even after filling our trash bucket six times, there was still plenty of litter left behind.

While beach cleanups are incredibly important, they only address a small part of the problem. Every piece of trash we remove is one less item that can harm wildlife or pollute our coastline, but the greatest impact comes from preventing waste in the first place. By embracing zero-waste solutions, bringing reusable bottles, bags, and containers, and avoiding single-use plastics, we can dramatically reduce the amount of trash that reaches our beaches, dunes, salt marshes, and ultimately our own food and water.

A big thank you to @surfriderma and all of the organizations, volunteers, and community members working year-round to keep our beaches clean while advocating for zero-waste solutions that tackle pollution at its source. Together, we can protect the coast we all love.

Although Bittersweet nightshade (Solanum dulcamara) is commonly associated with marshes and wetlands, this adaptable species also thrives in the Nahant Beach dunes. Although it is non-native, it has become part of the local flora without causing the same level of ecological concern as species like Oriental bittersweet or common reed (Phragmites).

Remember that dune vegetation helps stabilize the sand and reduce erosion. Please stay off the dunes and keep your belongings off them too. Even leaning surfboards, chairs, or other gear on dune plants can damage the vegetation that helps protect our shoreline.
