Celebrating Ten Years of Watershed Partnership
for Barnegat Bay Education!
The Barnegat Bay Environmental Educators Roundtable
Steering Committee was formed in 1995 to partner
in a coordinated and collaborative effort to bring Barnegat
Bay watershed topics and issues to the teachers of Ocean
County. Representatives from the “who’s who”
of environmental education at work in the county were
brought together and have remained together as a successful
and productive advisory group for OCSCD’s educational
efforts. The group’s accomplishments have included:
the development of the Barnegat Bay Watershed Educational
Resource Guide (1999), the development and implementation
of Discovering Barnegat
Bay activity guide and Treasure Chests (2003),
and the ever popular annual Barnegat
Bay Environmental Educators Roundtable, now in
its eighth year. Members of the Barnegat Bay Environmental
Educators Roundtable Steering Committee serve as
instructors for the Roundtable and their facilities as
host sites for Discovering
Barnegat Bay workshops. The organizations and
groups that they each represent offer wonderful resources
and opportunities for teachers and students to explore
the wonders of Barnegat Bay watershed. OCSCD would like
to thank and acknowledge the efforts of this group and
to provide those interested with links to their individual
websites which each offer a unique perspective and opportunity
for continued watershed education.
