8/12/2008 - As many of you know, a pod of 12 to 15 dolphins has been frolicking in the Navesink River for the past several weeks. Unfortunately, some people’s enthusiasm to get a glimpse of the mammals has lead to increased incidences of harassment. Baykeeper wishes to assure that neither humans or dolphins are injured and we want to remind you that Federal law requires that boaters, kayakers and personal watercraft stay at least 50 yards away from the dolphins or risk a $10,000 fine. We must respect these wonderful creatures and view them from a safe distance.

Baykeeper Oyster Restoration Program
The restoration of oysters to our tidal waters is a vital step toward the full restoration of the Hudson-Raritan Estuary’s natural wonders and commercial fisheries. The general public is invited to play an invaluable role.
Conservation
The Hudson-Raritan Estuary is the most urban estuary on Earth, with only a tiny portion of its open space left undeveloped. Baykeeper works jointly with its many partners to conserve this remaining habitat, our priceless natural heritage.
Advocacy
Rivers and bays, egrets and striped bass, can’t speak for themselves. Baykeeper acts as their voice in the Estuary, teaming with other groups and citizens to generate region-wide and watershed-wide policy initiatives...
