Community-Based Project Aims to Protect Forked River Beach
Lacey Township, NJ

ratio 

Historically, Barnegat Bay had over 12,000 acres of eastern oyster beds. Today, nearly the entire natural oyster population is gone. With their elimination, Barnegat Bay not only lost the oysters themselves, but the ecosystem services they provided such as water filtration, wave energy mitigation, and habitat for other marine life. Find out what the Littoral Society is doing about that through a project at Forked River Beach, NJ.
