For over 53 years, Save Barnegat Bay has been at the forefront of efforts to protect and improve the health of Barnegat Bay.

To help municipalities and communities navigate in the right direction, we’ve developed a comprehensive educational program called Charting A Course for Barnegat Bay. Our goal is to facilitate meaningful discussions about how we can all make a positive impact on our natural spaces—especially Barnegat Bay. Whether you’re a municipal official, town planner, engineer, developer, public worker, boater, fisherman, clammer, student, or concerned citizen, there’s a seat for you at the table.

Take a moment to explore resources from past Charting A Course conferences and workshops, and stay tuned for updates on upcoming events!
