WE oppose the dumping of commercial and recreational waste off Roy Carpenters Beach in Matunuck Rhode Island. This waste is a direct result the dredging of the navigational channels in Salt Pond and the disposal of the dredged materials on the sand bar 600 yards off Roy Carpenters Beach. WE believe that this is disastrously affecting the marine and shore environment at, South Kingstown Beach, Green Hill Beach, Moonstone Beach, East Matunuck Beach, Deep Hole Fishing / Surfing area and the Trustom Pond Wildlife Refuge. WE urge the CRMC and the Army Corps. of Engineers to stop dumping waste mixed with sediment NOW until an appropriate solution can be found.

The CRMC and Army Corps are still ignoring our concerns about the sediment dumping at Roy Carpenters Beach. Post this link on your Facebook page today and email your local representative to demand an immediate halt to these operations. We need to keep the pressure on until they meet with us.

Reaching this milestone proves that people are ready to protect our beaches from this destruction. Email your local representatives today to let them know the community refuses to accept this dumping. Post the petition link on Facebook and tag the Army Corps of Engineers so they see our progress.

Fix this disaster. My family has been going to Matunuck for 30 years and I have never seen it this bad.

Ridiculous that they think nobody would notice. This is our home and we dont want your garbage pile sitting offshore.

Keep our water clean. The local wildlife is suffering enough already and this is just plain lazy.

The beach looks awful. Used to take my kids here every summer but not anymore with all that trash washing up.

STOP THE DUMPING NOW. Ruining the best surf spots in the state for no good reason.
