Raritan Baykeeper Inc

Baykeeper's advocacy and legal program focuses on cleaning, restoring and providing public access to the post-industrial urban waterways that comprise the ny/nj harbor. We advocate for superfund and waste site cleanups with local community leaders, sue polluters and stormwater violators, and push for legislation aimed at these goals.

Baykeeper's "coastal restoration program" restores oyster reefs and living shorelines to the in and along the waterways of ny/nj harbor in both new jersey and new york. Much of this work is done in partnership with the united states navy. Volunteers from around the region are an integral part of these restorations that improve natural habitat and coastal resilience, while providing tremendous educational and research opportunities.
