Join the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium for our 21st annual Ocean Fun Days! This popular all outdoor two-day event takes place on Saturday, May 18 at Island Beach State Park and Sunday, May 19 at Sandy Hook from 11a.m. until 3p.m. both days, rain or shine.  Free admission both days! Enjoy hands-on marine and environmental programs and exhibits. There will be giveaways and plenty of excitement. Remember, learning about our coastal environment or about energy conservation tips, will be fun for the whole family. Learn how to use a seine net to catch native fish, crabs and other marine creatures. Test your local coastal knowledge or become a sand sampler and search for natural treasures on a guided walking tour. Hear first hand from New Jersey scientists and researchers all about the inner-workings of the ocean and the coastline and how to protect them for generations to come. Don’t miss these two days of FREE family fun!
