Protecting and preserving this sensitive marine habitat and the natural vegetation of this shallow tidal marsh area of Barnegat Bay is critical for the environmental health of the bay and its resources. The Marine Conservation Zone plays an important role in protecting sensitive habitat, including bird-nesting and foraging sites, and successfully resolves conflict issues between personal watercraft and living resources within the area.  Please be carefull when kayaking in this area, stay clear of nesting birds and be aware of the tides for the day.  For a map and more information go to http://www.savebarnegatbay.org/sedgemap.shtml also, check out http://www.savebarnegatbay.org  for more information on the Barnegat Bay.
