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, 7 species of sea turtles, and many marine mammals such
as 25 species of whales and dolphins, and several species of seals and porpoises 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.
