Help Us Fight for New Jersey Communities Hurt by  Pollution

6/22/2017

 
Picture
We need your help NOW to fight for New Jersey communities victimized by industrial pollution.
 
The Christie Administration’s 2018 budget proposal includes a provision that would cap how much money from natural resource damage settlements could be used to restore affected communities. No matter how much money our state wins from corporate polluters only $50 million could go to cleaning up the mess. The rest of the money would be diverted to the state's general fund.

​While Members Day is a time for the American Littoral Society to thank the people who make their work possible, the most popular attendee at the event wasn't even human.

Dassen, an African penguin who lives at Jenkinson's Aquarium, was the hit of the day, attracting non-stop attention from both children and adults.

But those in attendance on Saturday, June 10 also enjoyed great food from the Lusty Lobster, fun excursions around Gateway National Recreation Area's Sandy Hook Unit, and musical entertainment from the Danjos.

Operation Oyster Aims for Clean Water in the Two Rivers

6/7/2017

 
Picture
The American Littoral Society's Operation Oyster got under way on Friday, June 2, with the aim of improving water quality in New Jersey's Two Rivers area.

The launch event focused on shell bags that will be hung from docks along the river. Those bags will then be monitored to determine if live oysters take up residence.
 
While the launch focused on the effort to find oysters in the Navesink River, Operation Oyster will involve much more than shell bags. The project will eventually include many partners -- including hotels and restaurants, local residents and area schools, businesses and foundations -- all intent on turning the Navesink and Shrewsbury back into rivers that are safe and clean.

Operation Oyster will also bring together a number of Littoral Society programs with the experience the organization has gained restoring reefs in Barnegat and Delaware Bay.
