Going green at the New Jersey Shore.

If you happen to find yourself in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey and need a respite from the blazing sun or a rainy day, step into Sea & Green for a surefire eco-escape. Opened in 2008, by Rebecca Biskaduros and her husband Jason Turton, the space has been lovingly restored to its original cement walls, 15-foot high concrete barrel ceilings, 100 year-old wood floors and “found” stained-glass windows. The philosophy at Sea & Green is to “bring environmentally conscious, beautiful, and unique items to the Jersey Shore” says Biskaduros. The eclectic space is chock full of everything under the sun. From upcycled creations by Biskaduros and her husband Jason, to handpicked local and sustainable items that represent the store’s vision of green. Some of the very unique pieces we loved are the driftwood that Biskaduros turns into decor, or the plastic grocery bags local artist Michal Sparks upcycles into wall art. Garbage never looked so good! By supporting local artists, the shop also carries one-of-akind art, photography, eco-tableware, handmade jewelry and children’s items. Three featured artists are: Michal Sparks, David Turton Photography, and Hope Grimes’ Pocka Booka designs. Sparks creates colorful jewelry, wall art, mobiles, collages and accessories. Turton offers stunning local beach and ocean imagery on canvas. Grimes crafts an adorable collection of children’s clothing from vintage fabrics. Sea & Green donates 1 percent of quarterly sales to an environmental or humanitarian charity
and was a recent recipient of The Green America Seal.
