CELEBRATE SEINE THE BAY DAY! SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2017 Join members of the all-volunteer Bayshore Watershed Council on Sunday, September 10, 2017 for Seine the Bay Day! The event is FREE! Bring a friend or bring your family. Kids are welcome. Seine the Bay Day is an annual late summer event. Volunteers will help drag a long net (called a seine net) through the water to discover what awesome sea creatures live in the shallow part of the bay. The catch is never the same; we may catch juvenile fish, shrimp, or even baby puffers or seahorses in the net. It will be a fun day. Times and locations can be found below. Rain or strong winds will cancel the event. Seining team members will be citizen scientists. All fishes, crabs, and other aquatic creatures will be identified, measured, and cataloged; and returned to the water. In addition, watershed members will collect water temperature and turbidity information; and document the tidal stage, and note the aquatic vegetation in the area. ![]() 10:00am Aberdeen Township, NJ Cliffwood Beach - meet in the gravel parking lot near the beach entrance along Ocean Blvd. (Incoming tide) ![]() 11:30am Union Beach, NJ Conaskonck Point - meet in the gravel parking lot where Front and Dock streets meet.
