What is the NY/NJ Bight?
The physical, biological, and hydrodynamic
characteristics of this 19,000 square-mile area are extraordinary as more than 300 species
of fish, nearly 350 species of birds, 5 species of sea turtles, and many marine mammals
with over 20 species of whales and dolphins, 1 species of porpoise and 4 species of seals
frequent this region.
The ecological richness of the region is astounding, supporting a
diversity of life that is equal to or exceeds the rainforests. This fantastic seaway
feeds the souls of millions and provides an economic mainstay for multi-billion dollar
industries.
