Join park naturalists and volunteers from ReClam the Bay at the Upweller at the Island Beach Marina!
“An upweller is a shellfish nursery. The public is invited to visit these locations, talk to our volunteers and learn how to care for thousands of baby shellfish. Some just observe but others help with cleaning, counting and measuring the shellfish. Much of the data we use in our educational efforts is taken from RCTB growing activities at our 10 upwellers. We keep records of all upweller activities, including growth, nutrition, temperature and water quality. These records help us better understand the environment at the different locations around the bay. The records show how different the various locations really are. This is a great starting point for people to begin to understand the complexity of our natural systems.” -ReClam the Bay
