10 Things YOU CAN DO

To Maintain a

Healthy Barnegat Bay

 

Avoid over use of Fertilizers. Test your soil, apply the right amount, and don’t apply before a heavy rainfall.

Use a car wash which recycles water or wash your car on a lawn/stones, not in the street.

Don’t litter - it travels to the street and ends up in
storm drains and the bay.

RECYCLE bottles, cans, newspapers, motor oil.
Compost yard waste. Use re-useable grocery
bags.

Pesticides are TOXIC! Use organic when possible. If you must use them follow directions carefully.

Always pick up PET WASTE!

Use a pump-out boat service/facility for your
waste.

Safely dispose of household toxic wastes. Call
Ocean County Solid Waste Management.

Anglers - don’t leave fishing gear behind!

CONSERVE Water!!!
Take short showers, shut the tap off!
