| Explore the amazing marine science happening in your backyard!
For more than 50 years, researchers have been sampling and sensing the marine and estuarine environments of Little Egg Harbor and the Great Bay. These data “paint a picture” of a shifting and changing system, illustrating not only the impacts of a dynamic climate, but also the vital role these critical habitats play. Surrounded by salt marsh and poised at the mouth of an active ocean inlet, data collected here is used to inform coastal fisheries, decision-makers, and our local communities about the ways in which our coastal environment is adapting.
Celebrate the work of the Rutgers University Marine Field Station (RUMFS) and the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve (JC NERR) at our Open House event on Saturday, September 21st, from 10am-3pm!
We will be hosting the event at TWO locations: RUMFS and the JC NERR. Ticket reservations required for the RUMFS location.** Tickets are not required to visit the JC NERR. Come anytime you would like to that location between 10am-3pm. Click here for more information on the two locations!
Meet Rutgers and JC NERR scientists and explore the exciting research in the Mullica River-Great Bay estuary & beyond: with interactive booths, critter touch tank, history & ecology talks, guided Grassle Marsh trail walks, kids activities/games, and more!
**NOTE: At the RUMFS location, all visitors must walk across the ~1/4 mile causeway to the building. Boats are not allowed to dock at the Field Station.
