About Us

RESEARCH

Investigating problems and crafting solutions

Finding solutions for the Shore: Right now, the Shore is hurting. Years of reckless development mean more of our coastal waters — especially in our bays — are under stress, as polluted run-off funnels into our waters after big rainstorms. What does that mean? It means more of our coastal and bay beaches are closed, or should be closed.

EDUCATION

Educating the public and making our voices heard

Cleaner water for New Jersey: In 2006, we informed New Jerseyans then convinced former Gov. Jon Corzine to expand vegetative buffers to include all waterways statewide. This new regulation will not only prevent all the state’s waterways from becoming more polluted by encroaching development, but will also help prevent flooding.
