What the Bay HINGES On
The guide, What the bay HINGES on is available 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 has been distributed in binder form since 2007, and is now available via web.
