PORTSMOUTH — The nonprofit environmental group Clean Ocean Access (COA) hosted a cleanup at Stringham Road recently with a little help from their friends.

COA received support and participation from Portsmouth Maritime, Portsmouth Refit, LMI, Ocean Link, Rail Explorers, Hinckley, Cay, New England Boatworks, S&S, East Coast Yacht Sales, Doug Wielhouwer, Northstar Yacht Sales, Kiwi Marine, Gulf Stream Grille and the Navy officers from the supply support team from Naval Station Newport. 

Thirty volunteers came together to remove approximately 700 pounds of debris — including motorcycle tires, metal pipes and a toaster oven — from Stringham Road. 

“We are excited to continue this long-lasting stewardship effort with the marine trade industry in Portsmouth at Stringham Road,” COA said in a press release.
