Join us in stewarding New Jersey’s coastline! As we look ahead to 2026, we take pride in all that we have accomplished together and remain committed to our mission of safeguarding and sustaining our coastal environment. At the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium (NJSGC), we envision resilient shores, healthy marine ecosystems, and informed communities that value and fortify our state’s remarkable natural resources.
Your support is an essential part of this vision. Every contribution strengthens our education, communication, extension, and research programs that keep our coasts and the people who depend on them strong. In 2025, thanks to generous donors like you, we achieved meaningful progress in advancing coastal science and stewardship.
2025 Accomplishments:
- The 22nd Annual Ocean Fun Days was again a success!
- NJSGC supported research focused on cleaner water, resilient coasts, sustainable aquaculture, marine innovation, and community-driven solutions to pollution and climate challenges.
- Received thousands of responses across our Jersey Shore Photo and Favorite Beaches Contests.
- Apprenticeship in Shellfish Aquaculture Program’s 3rd year generated greater interest in our local shellfish industry.
- Conducted an assessment of the condition of boat ramps open to the public.
- Over this past spring through fall alone, we hosted 47 diverse Scout Programs, providing young scouts the opportunity to earn the Environmental Science and Oceanography badge.
- Engaged thousands of young citizens through field trips, in-school programs, scouts, and summer camp.
With your continued partnership, we can build on this momentum and make an even greater impact in the year ahead. Our work is more needed than ever, and your support is vital to our continued success.
