What is the Super Splash?
It’s pretty simple. On Sunday, February 11 at high noon at Cove Island in Stamford, hundreds of people of all ages will run and jump into a chilly and refreshing Long Island Sound. When they emerge (quickly), they’ll wrap themselves in towels and warm up with donuts and hot chocolate on the beach.
What is Really Happening? Some Serious Fun.
All the Super Splashers are helping build the conversation about climate change. It may not feel it to the Splashers, but like oceans around the world, the waters of Long Island Sound are warming and it’s changing our local environment. Many of the animals and plants we are accustomed to seeing in the Sound are under stress or just leaving for colder waters and we’re seeing more warmer water species. What does this all mean? We’re not sure yet, but we are sure who will have to deal with the effects: the next generation.
Preparing the Next Generation
The Super Splash is raising money so we can teach climate science to the next generation, giving them the tools to understand and manage climate change and its effects. So, is the Super Splash fun? Yes! Is it serious? Yes! Serious Fun.
