Every year, Reclam The Bay empowers communities in Waretown, NJ, to transform the health of Barnegat Bay by growing and restoring over 10 million shellfish—vital natural filters that improve water quality, support local wildlife, and sustain our coastal ecosystem. Your support fuels hands-on science research and community-led efforts that turn knowledge into action, creating a thriving estuary that families, fish, and future generations rely on. By donating today, you help us protect this fragile habitat, prevent pollution, and restore the water clarity that defines our region’s natural beauty.

Through collaborative programs, educational outreach, and innovative shellfish restoration, Reclam The Bay actively involves residents, students, and volunteers in tangible conservation efforts. Together, we feed and nurture oyster beds and clam populations, directly reversing environmental decline caused by storm runoff, pollution, and habitat loss. Every contribution accelerates our work, ensuring that these filter-feeding champions of water quality thrive once more, bringing hope and resilience to our coastal community. Your gift makes this vital work possible—creating a cleaner, healthier bay for wildlife and people alike.
