"Old Barney" Barnegat Lighthouse - LBI, NJ

After their morning run while on vacation in the beginning of August, Memorial Miler Paul Pietropaolo and his nephew Vincent visit "Old Barney" Barnegat Lighthouse on Long Beach Island (LBI), NJ. The Jersey shore is a great place to vacation, there is so much to do and the beaches can not be beat!


Claim Trail - ReClam The Bay (RCTB)
August 6, 2009 was a raining morning on LBI so I deiced to check out some of the Clam art on the Island that has been put out by local business and municipalities in support of RTCB. ReClam The Bay grows millions of baby claims and oysters to reseed the bay and has volunteers that explain the benefits of shellfish filtering, feeding and cleaning the estuary. RCTB also encourages people to become stewards of the environment and to help improve the water quality of the bay by reducing pollution. You can learn more about RCTB and what they do by visiting http://www.reclamthebay.org/

Some of the Giant Clam Locations I managed to get to see, but there are over 22 in all, it's a little goofy, but I had fun doing it!

Rick, President of ReClam the Bay here. We are so happy that you enjoyed the Giant Clams Of Ocean County.Our mission is to draw attention to the Bay to get people to help improve the water quality. Biggest single problem (for any vacation area along the water) is too much nitrogen in the water. It comes from lawn fertilizer, smoke stacks and car exhaust. If you have a favorite spot PLEASE reduce the use of these things. What you do at home has a big impact on where you go for vacation. Lots more information at www.reclamthebay,org
