Save the Great South Bay
Word of the Week
Earth Day
Celebrating Earth Day with Action:
Protecting our watershed
One creek at a time
This Earth Day, Save Th e Great South Bay invites
you to go beyond celebration and take action to
protect the natural treasures in your own backyard.
Our Creek Defender Program is at the heart of our mission
— a grassroots initiative that empowers local communities
to restore and steward the 50 creeks that fl ow into the
Great South Bay.
Th e Bay’s health begins upstream. Polluted runoff , litter,
and invasive plants degrade these vital waterways, threatening
not only marine life but also our way of life on Long
Island. Th rough cleanups, native planting projects, and educational
outreach, Creek Defenders work year-round to
turn the tide.
Th is Earth Day, we’re asking you to become a Creek Defender
in your own community. Whether it’s joining a
cleanup, spreading awareness, or simply being more mindful
of what goes down your storm drain, your actions matter.
Let’s honor Earth Day by investing in a cleaner, healthier
Great South Bay — for today and for generations to come.
Together, we can restore our creeks, protect our Bay, and
build a more resilient South Shore.
Save Th e Great South Bay is a local environmental non-profi t whose
mission is to restore water quality in the Great South Bay for future
generations to enjoy. Our Word of the Week initiative aims to make
the scientifi c vocabulary of environmentalism accessible to everyone.
