ReClam the Bay and Jenkinson's Aquarium


Visitors to Jenkinson's Aquarium in Point Pleasant can now see and learn about local shellfish thanks to efforts by RCTB!

Earlier this week
RCTB members Wes Delzell and Frank Vives delivered some "spat on shell" and small clams to Jenkinson’s Aquarium for a new shellfish tank.

The tank is part of thei
r Barnegat Bay Estuary display which includes tanks with native crabs and turtles. The clams seemed to be very happy in their new home as they began digging into the sand almost immediately. Soon, we'll be providing graphics and information for the exhibit.

Another fun and educational way that RCTB partners with other organizations to spread the word about shellfish in the bay and the great work that we do.

  1. What a great idea you have. People are more aware now of the activities of a clam.
