Fredonia Women's Basketball Beach Sweep

2014

    The Fredonia Women's basketball team participated in the 2014 Great Lakes Beach sweep on Saturday, September 20th. It was a beautiful fall day and was attended by the players and coaching staff. The sweep was organized by the Fredonia Biology department. The data collected will be posted on the Biology site and will be used to further the education about pollution and how to combat it in the future throughout the Entire Great Lakes Region

   The Material collected was sorted and counted and weighed to give exact data for closer examination. The team collected over 8 and one half pounds of unique material to add to the study.

    The team feels that community service projects are an important part of being a student-athlete at Fredonia. Junior captain Katie Devine said, "...it was interesting to see how much trash there was and how such little pieces could really damage the wildlife."
