More than a dozen environmentalists, the majority of them children and teens, turned out for Red Bank Riverkeepers’ fourth annual Navesink River cleanup near the Red Bank Marina Saturday. Though they worked for five hours, 16-year-old organizer Amanda Jennings, above with Jack Newsome, said there’s still plenty buried in the mud. Bailey Newsome, right, emptied mud from an oil filter.
