The Littoral Society is Proud to Partner with the Barnegat Oyster Collective
Barnegat, NJ

New Jersey was once the center of the oyster world. Billions were harvested from the state's bays and estuaries until they all but disappeared in the early 1900s, thanks to over-harvesting, pollution and disease. But New Jersey oysters have been making a comeback recently, thanks to oyster farmers like our partners at the Barnegat Oyster Collective. Read more on our Facebook page.

Recently we took part in a Kid's Corner focused on helping little field scientists observe and document critters from the bay. Read more on our Facebook page.
