In Celebration Of Earth Day Coastal Education Signs Are Unveiled In Monmouth County




Five new interpretive coastal education signs were unveiled in Neptune Township's Shark River area Wednesday.

The signs are the result of a partnership between the Neptune Environmental Commission, the Shark River Cleanup Coalition and the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium/ New Jersey Sea Grant.

One sign explains how the Shark River got its name, another provides information about birds that live in the area.

“We hope the signs will help people understand how important the Shark River Watershed is and all the animals and plants that live in the area and are affected by pollution,” says Jenny McCormick, with the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium/New Jersey Sea Grant.

Bradley Beach and Belmar also have educational signs.
