Support the Consortium

 

Join Us in Protecting New Jersey’s Coastline. As we step into 2025, we reflect on our accomplishments and look forward to continuing our vital mission of protecting and preserving New Jersey’s coastal environment. At the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium (NJSGC), we are driven by the vision of resilient coastlines, thriving marine life, and educated communities that cherish our extraordinary natural resources. However, we cannot do this without your support.

The Importance of Your Gift. From education and outreach programs to cutting-edge research initiatives, your generous contributions power our work year-round. In 2024, with the help of donors like you, we made significant strides:

  • Educating over 35,000 students through marine science programs, instilling a passion for conservation in the next generation. This includes creating new professional development opportunities and a new workforce development program in the economically important field of aquaculture. 
  • Funding research projects that address critical coastal issues, such as water quality, fisheries health, wind energy, and climate adaptation.
  • Providing community resources like our celebrated Ocean Fun Days, now in its 22nd year, which engage families and citizens in hands-on experiences with our coastal ecosystems.

But our work is far from finished. Our shores will continue to face changes and challenges. Our work is more needed than ever and your support is vital to our continued success.

Your Impact. By donating to NJSGC, you contribute directly to initiatives like:

  • Expanding marine science educational tools including adding an EXC-120 high-contrast compound Microscope with tablet, Enviroscape, GaiaXus water quality monitors. 
  • Supporting crucial research that informs coastal policy and management.
  • Providing new innovative technology to communicate and convey marine science and issues. 
  • Enhancing public awareness through events that inspire environmental stewardship.

Every dollar you give makes a tangible difference. Together, we can ensure that future generations experience a coastline rich in beauty, life, and vitality.

Ways to Give. Your gift is an investment in a future filled with informed communities, stronger coastline, and furthered research and workforce development.
