SeaScape A weekly update to the COA community published in Off the Wall on what issues SEA is investigating and acting on. Each week SEA sets up a table in either TAB or the student lounge providing information on issues of concern. They also provide the names and addresses of area legislators along with envelopes and stamps for writing letters urging state representatives to stronglyconsider the environmental issues when voting. For the past two years SEA has organized a cleanup of Card Brook for National River Cleanup Day. Cark Brook runs through downtown Ellsworth and is always in need of a good cleaning.
Students carpool in groups and spend the day picking up trash in and along the brook.
In 1996 SEA started the Community Bicycle Project. Recognizing the need for ecological student transportation to Bar Harbor, a mere mile away, SEA found bikes in need of repair, refurbished them and made them available for community use. Anyone who needs to may borrow a community bicycle so long as they return it in a timely fashion.
