Posted 11/22/2006

Through newsletters, reports, research and sponsoring conferences the NY/NJ Baykeeper has, over the years, produced a number of documents that we believe may be of interest and use to some specific audiences and the general public.

We have begun the process of turning those documents into PDF files that can be downloaded from this site. We will continue to convert more of the existing documents we feel are suitable into PDF files and place them here. As new newsletters, position papers, research documents, brochures and other writings of interest come out of the Baykeeper Program they too will be available on our web site.

Look over the list below of documents currently available and click on them to download the PDF file. You will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader to open these documents. Adobe provides free copies of Acrobat Reader at their web site, www.adobe.com
