Among the grant recipients is the Barnegat Bay Partnership, along with Ocean County College, which hosts the partnership (formerly the Barnegat Bay National Estuary Program) on its campus.
Additional funding awardees include The Watershed Institute, The Nature Conservancy, Rutgers University and others.
