A Clean Bay

With the help of our official Clean-Up Crew we are looking to host a special trail, street, or beach clean-up once a month all over the state.

A Preserved Watershed

The things that happen on land will directly affect what happens in our water, that’s why protecting our natural spaces is so important in preserving not only the health of our water, but also reducing flooding and improving our quality of life.

A Healthy Future

We will never stop fighting for the better and healthier Barnegat Bay that we all deserve regardless of how big that fight may be.

Nicole Curnan

Legal intern

Nicole is a lifelong Toms River resident and recent graduate in International Relations from the University of Delaware, has always been passionate about making a difference. When she learned about Save Barnegat Bay’s fight against the DEP’s controversial settlement with BASF over the lifetime of harm caused by the Ciba-Geigy Superfund site, she didn’t hesitate to get involved.

Over just three months, Nicole has dedicated nearly 100 hours of her time to meticulously reviewing thousands of pages of legal and technical documents related to the environmental damage caused by Ciba-Geigy. Her attention to detail and unwavering commitment to her home community have been indispensable in strengthening our fight for justice.

Thank you, Nicole, for everything you have done to support our mission and protect our Bay.

DRIFT

Created for our 50th anniversary and done in celebration of a half century of preserving Barnegat Bay, Save Barnegat Bay is pleased to present our documentary film, DRIFT, produced in collaboration with Monmouth University Production Services and directed by Erin Fleming. DRIFT tells the story of Barnegat Bay through the voices and eyes of people who cherish the Bay as a natural, recreational, and economic resource for the local community and all of New Jersey. The film allows the viewer to DRIFT through 50 years of complex issues through a series of short vignettes, using a variety of perspectives, viewpoints, and experiences.
