Hi there, 

United By Blue is a ocean-friendly brand of apparel, which removes a pound of trash from oceans and waterways for every product sold. 

We are hosting a cleanup of Canarsie Pier beach with Sperry Top-Sider on April 14th and currently looking for volunteers to join us! 

I was just wondering if Brooklyn Bird Club members would be interested in participating.  

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Best,

Leslie
