On Tuesday August 28th third district Congressman Jon Runyon paid a visit to our upweller at Cattus Island in Toms River. Congressman Runyon and a group led by Stan Hales from the Barnegat Bay Partnership were about to board the Ocean County Parks touring boat on a fact finding cruise of Barnegat Bay. RCTB president Rick Bushnell and upweller team captain Clint Lehman gave a detailed explanation of our mission and the workings of the upweller and the spat-on-shell tank. Also present was Richard Shaw from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service who gave a brief lecture on his research involving the composition of soil samples taken from the bay.
