Green Marina Recycling

The boatyard in the springtime is a magical place where boat owners, crew and professionals will rub elbows as they remove covers, sand and paint bottoms, wash and wax the hull and empty that horrible tasting "pink stuff" from their fresh water systems.

It's also where a huge amount of plastic waste (shrink wrap), wood framing, paint pails, dead batteries, contaminated fuel and old lube oil is generated in a short period of time.

To battle the onslaught, the marinas have taken special measures: Trash containers and dumpsters for specific items (shrink wrap) card board, wood framing and old petroleum products have been stationed to allow easy access for all. In some cases there may be a surcharge, as hazardous materials (contaminated fuel) need to be carted away by a licensed hazardous waste disposal company. 

Please help keep the recycling and reclamation process working by putting the correct materials in the correct dumpsters or containers. Do not dump closed paint cans in the trash, allow them to dry or solidify to minimize their potential pollution footprint. Put only plastic in the large shrink wrap dumpsters and common trash in the smaller, standard dumpsters.

Pollution, global warming and environmental changes start here - please help as you can.

Rex Marine Introduces Boat Cloud 

Boat Cloud is an interactive online solution for scheduling and confirming boat rack launches and haul requests. Designed to enhance your boating experience, and to give you more time on the water, an easier time back at the dock, confirmation of launch, and easy haul out / leave in requests.
 
This unique application can be downloaded to any Apple or Android device and many other smart phones and tablets. 

The application can also be accessed online from your office or home computer. To execute a launch request, the Wiggins Forklift has been outfitted with a Boat Cloud terminal to get requests real time.

It's Horseshoe Crab Tagging Time Again !

The spring moons soon will be drawing male and
female horseshoe crabs up our beaches for an annual Mating Ritual and staff and volunteers from The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk will be on hand to greet them.

The Maritime Aquarium is seeking volunteers to help attach census tags to horseshoe crabs as they come out of the water to spawn at Calf Pasture Beach.  It's all part of a census of horseshoe crabs in Long Island Sound, being led by Dr. Jennifer Mattei of Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, and The Maritime Aquarium is assisting with the census and tagging.
