Since May 6, Margo Pellegrino, a 40-year-old stay-at-home-mother, has been paddling her way up the East Coast from Miami in a 20-foot canoe. Her final destination is Camden, Maine, but she will stop by the Hamptons on Saturday, June 30. Her purpose for this nearly 2,000 mile journey is to raise awareness about such problems facing our oceans as overfishing, pollution, development, habitat destruction, aquaculture and beach access.
Members of the Group For the East End and the Eastern Long Island Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation will be on hand to great her at approximately 4 p.m. on Shinnecock Bay across the street from Edgewater Restaurant (between Ocean View and South Valley Roads in Hampton Bays.
There is still time to support Margo during her journey. You can make a donation through her website, or you can provide her with company in Shinnecock Bay if you have a canoe, kayak or paddle board by calling 631-848-9927.
