Action today so future generations can enjoy ocean activities

For immediate release April 19, 2019

For more information: Dave McLaughlin, Executive Director dave.mclaughlin@cleanoceanaccess.org 401-236-2561

Clean Ocean Access tackling plastic pollution in the Providence River Providence, R.I. — Mayor Jorge Elorza, City of Providence, joined elected officials, partners and stakeholders to announce the installation of The Hot Club Marina Trash Skimmer in the Providence River. With this installation at The Hot Club, the City of Providence becomes the first state capitol in the United States to host the innovative technology with the goal to eliminate marine debris and improve coastal water quality in the Ocean State. Funded by 11th Hour Racing, the Hot Club Marina Trash Skimmer is part of the Southeast New England Marina Trash Skimmer program, a multi-year initiative by Clean Ocean Access (COA) that seeks to improve the health of southern New England’s harbors and marinas frequented by tens of thousands of residents and visited by millions of tourists annually. Additional education and outreach efforts to engage the broader Providence community through the marina trash skimmer program are made possible by funding from the Amgen Foundation and the Island Foundation. “The purpose of the project is to bring awareness to the types of materials that are littering our communities and finding their way via stormwater into our coastal waters. The skimmer is the last line of defense for our oceans, and each installation allows for open, positive and forwardthinking conversation of how to solve the local and global problem of litter and marine debris.” says Dave McLaughlin, Executive Director of Clean Ocean Access. Floating marine debris not only presents a nuisance to recreational and commercial vessels, it also impairs water quality and degrades marine habitat and ecosystems that are critical to Rhode Island’s coastal communities. The Southeast New England Marina Trash Skimmer program strengthens and expands the current efforts for improving water quality and eliminating marine debris from the shoreline and nearshore water across the region. Marina Trash skimmers are a production-ready technology and highly effective method for removing surface marine debris, absorbing toxins and pollutants, and improving the vitality of our local waters. “The City of Providence is taking bold action against the life-threatening effects of climate change and the degradation of our natural resources – from reducing our carbon footprint to removing trash and other debris from our precious water ecosystems,” said Providence Mayor Jorge O. Elorza. “Together with Clean Ocean Access and other community partners, we are demonstrating that these bold actions are not only critical to the sustainability of our environment but are also achievable.” The Southeast New England Marina Trash Skimmer program builds on COA’s proven success with two trash skimmer installations in Newport Harbor in partnership with the City of Newport (2016), one in Portsmouth in partnership with New England Boatworks, and one at Fort Adams

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

People’s Credit Union Donates to United Way of Rhode Island’s Corporate MyFund™ Program (Middletown, RI): April 2, 2019- People’s Credit Union has donated $80,000 to United Way of Rhode Island through the organization’s corporate MyFund™ Program. To date, People’s Credit Union has used the digital giving tool to make donations to the South County YMCA, LINKS North Kingstown, The Boys and Girls Club of Newport County, and the Bristol Warren Education Foundation. In addition, the Credit Union made a donation to the America’s Credit Union Museum. Ellen Ford, President and CEO of People’s Credit Union noted, “In 2018, People’s Credit Union had the opportunity to make a significant philanthropic contribution to the communities we serve. We turned to the guidance of the United Way, and through the establishment of a corporate MyFund™ account, we were able to leverage their technology to implement and administer the first multi-year corporate MyFund™ giving program in Rhode Island through this innovative platform. Having the ability to make a gift to the United Way and then make gifts from our corporate MyFund™ account to any 501(c)(3) in the state or throughout the country was a win-win for us, not to mention the service is free to us as donors. The United Way’s purpose is to change lives and strengthen our communities by working together. People’s Credit Union is 100% on board with that.” United Way of Rhode Island launched MyFund™ in late 2017 to help make charitable giving more convenient, easy, and secure for individuals and businesses alike. The tool provides donors with a unique “online banking service,” consolidating charitable giving into a single account. Over the course of a set time period, donors can distribute their funds to any charity in the country using a mobile phone, tablet or desktop computer. -MORE-
