The Society connects people of all ages to the coast through educational nature walks, fishing clinics, field trips, and volunteer opportunities.
Our staff naturalists host a variety of public programs throughout the year which can be viewed in more detail below:
Sunset seining
Discover the diverse wildlife inhabiting our coast. Participants are invited to help pull our 40 foot seine net through the bay, and experience the excitement of learning about the fish and other critters caught.
Horseshoe crab walks
Take an evening stroll on the beach with us to learn about some of our oldest friends, 445 million years that is! Watch your step as we walk along the sand and wade within the water as they will be crawling at your feet. Experience the excitement of holding one of these ancient creatures as the sun sets over the bay.
Seal and winter waterfowl walks (sandy Hook ONLY)
Observe and learn all about our local winter waterfowl and seal friends from January-March! We will take a look at the different species, characteristics of them, where to spot them, and identifying features. We will provide binoculars, but feel free to bring your own.
Surf fishing clinics
Enjoy a day of surf fishing and instruction on the beach. Participants will learn the basics of casting, knot tying, lure/bait selection, and “reading” a beach. Rods, reels and tackle will be provided, but bring your own if you have. Ages 8+ and all skill levels are welcomed.
