The oppressive summer sun did not stop lovers of Barnegat Bay from showing their support for the environment on July 10 at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences in Loveladies, in partnership with numerous community outreach groups during the 18th annual Barnegat Bay Day.

The event is aimed at continuing support for and education of the diverse ecosystems present in and around Barnegat Bay and the Jersey Shore as a whole.
