The guide, What the bay HINGES on is ready for distribution. This guide was designed to educate both youth and the general public about the Barnegat Bay Shellfish Restoration Program and its volunteer corps "ReClam the Bay!". It aims to connect water quality, shellfish aquaculture, and human needs and actions while providing an example of stewardship. The guide and it's accompanying CD feature lessons, activities, powerpoint presentations and worksheets on shellfish biology, Barnegat Bay ecology, seafood and nutrition, pollution and water quality, and stewardship. The guide was distributed at two workshops this summer, and is available until supplies run out.

From this site you will be able to access materials related to the guide and its activities. Stay tuned to download new information!
