Protecting Barnegat Bay for Over 53 Years
Save Barnegat Bay is the only independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit exclusively dedicated to the protection and preservation of Barnegat Bay and its watershed. For more than half a century, we’ve been a trusted voice and advocate for this vital natural resource, serving communities across Ocean and Monmouth Counties.
Our Mission
Our mission is to protect Barnegat Bay through targeted education, advocacy, and outreach programs that empower individuals and communities to make meaningful connections to the natural world.
We believe that hands-on experiences are key to fostering a deeper appreciation for the Bay and its surrounding ecosystems. By meeting people where they are and helping them engage directly with the environment, we inspire action and drive change.
A Grassroots Legacy
From the beginning, Save Barnegat Bay has been deeply rooted in the community. Collaboration and grassroots engagement are at the heart of everything we do, allowing us to be the independent voice that Barnegat Bay deserves.
Our nonpartisan approach enables us to work across both aisles in local and state government and to partner with environmental and community organizations throughout New Jersey. This commitment to inclusivity ensures that we can unite people around a common goal: protecting the Bay for future generations.
Flexibility and Focus
As an independent organization, we have the ability to pivot quickly and respond to emerging threats to Barnegat Bay. Whether it’s addressing pollution, advocating for better policies, or mobilizing against environmental risks, our independence allows us to act decisively.
Thanks to the generous support of over 7,000 members, we have the strong foundation and flexibility needed to continue our vital work for generations to come.
