The Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG) • Register • View Cart •

A video presentation will show OLAUG in action and will focus on the important roles of the swimmers, kayakers, and Beach Bosses. Each portion is narrated by a swimmer, kayaker, etc. The presenters will explain how the movement began and how it interacts with communities, as well as what OLAUG hopes to accomplish both short- and long-term.

About the speakers: Susan is a retired psychologist and author of seven trade non-fiction books that reflect her early interest in marine science and psychology. Recently, she has privately published children’s books on the pond turtles of New England.
At the moment, she is best known as the founder of the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG).  In April 2024, she received the American Red Cross (Massachusetts chapter) first Hero’s Award for Climate Resilience.  She was selected by the Explorers Club as an EC 50, a person who is changing the world.
Susan and OLAUG have appeared in Readers Digest and AARP publications, a Boston Globe photo essay, the NBC nightly news, and on both ABC and CBS.  OLAUG is being considered for a pilot series on TV called “Join the Club.”

      
This event is free and open to the public. We do welcome donations to further PBCB's mission to further to provide access to boating and marine science education and to demonstrate environmental stewardship on Pleasant Bay.
