2026 State of the Barnegat Bay Symposium

Date event starts: 10/14/2026

What is the state of Barnegat Bay today, and what can decades of research and monitoring tell us about where it is headed?
The Barnegat Bay Partnership is excited to announce the publication of the 2026 State of the Bay Report, our latest comprehensive look at the health of the Barnegat Bay estuary and its watershed.
Published every five years, the State of the Bay Report brings together years of environmental monitoring, research, and data from the Barnegat Bay Partnership and our many partners throughout the watershed. The report looks at the bay through a range of indicators that help us understand changes in water quality, living resources, habitats, land use, water supply, and other factors influencing the health of the watershed.
The report is more than a snapshot of where the bay stands today. By looking at long term trends, we can better understand where conditions are improving, where challenges remain, and where continued research, restoration, monitoring, and community action are needed.
Behind every indicator is also a much bigger story. Scientists, natural resource managers, municipalities, nonprofit organizations, educators, volunteers, and community members across the watershed all play a role in understanding and protecting Barnegat Bay.
We invite you to explore the 2026 State of the Bay Report and learn more about what the science is telling us about the estuary we all share. *Please note that the mobile version of the report is still under construction. It is best viewed on a desktop at this time.
But the conversation does not end with the report.
Join Us for the 2026 State of the Bay Symposium
To bring the findings of the report off the page and into the community, the Barnegat Bay Partnership is also hosting the 2026 State of the Bay Symposium.
The symposium will bring together scientists, resource managers, partners, and community members to take a closer look at the latest research and monitoring happening throughout the Barnegat Bay watershed. It is an opportunity to hear directly from the people doing this work, learn more about the science behind the State of the Bay, and be part of the conversation about the future of our watershed.
Whether you work in environmental science, live or recreate along the bay, volunteer in your community, or simply want to better understand the place you call home, we hope you will join us.
We encourage you to explore the 2026 State of the Bay Report to learn more about the latest science, monitoring, and trends shaping Barnegat Bay. Then, join us at the State of the Bay Symposium to hear from researchers and partners working throughout the watershed and learn how this work is helping inform the future of the bay.
