New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium, along with New York Sea Grant, is encouraging people to enjoy the BEach SAFEly, and has recently launched a campaign that focuses on both COVID-19 precautions and ocean hazards of which beachgoers should be aware. NJSGC, founded in 1969 as the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium, is an affiliation of colleges, universities and other groups dedicated to advancing knowledge and stewardship of the state’s marine and coastal environment.

The campaign’s first initiative – Stay Social, Be Distant – was announced on July 16.
