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.
