Come explore the amazing marine science taking place in your own backyard.
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Rutgers Marine Field Station (RUMFS) & the 25th anniversary of the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve (JC NERR) at our Open House event on September 17th, 10am-3pm (all outdoors, rain or shine)! This year, we are hosting the event at TWO locations: RUMFS and the JC NERR!
Meet Rutgers and JC NERR researchers and scientists and explore the exciting research happening in the Great Bay/Mullica River estuary and beyond: with interactive booths, touch tank, children's activities, RUMFS 50th Anniversary Merchandise, invited speakers, and more!
