Saving Our Seashore

Saving Our Seashore was founded by shop owner Karen Marvin after her first hand experience seeing and living through the devastating effects of hurricane Sandy. Our treasured Long Island landscape, as well as many other coastal seashores in our region, were violently re-arranged. Shorelines are under constant threat from the damaging effects of natural disasters and human pollution. We are committed to protecting our shoreline for generations to come.

Karen grew up on Long Island and is passionate about its beaches. Moved by the tragedy of hurricane Sandy, Karen knew she had to do something to help in the recovery effort. She decided to use her artistic talents to raise money for the cause. The jewelry for sale on this site was conceived and designed by Karen. In addition to raising money for restoration efforts, she hopes that when people are seen proudly wearing the necklace, it will start a conversation about the importance of Saving Our Seashore. Karen would love nothing more than to pass the love of Long Island's beaches and shoreline down to her children and future generations.
