FISH Program Guidelines

Please print this page for future reference.
  • Program begins at NJMSC’s Building #22 where you will meet your NJMSC instructor. Your group will depart from Building #22 after a brief orientation. The rest of the program will be conducted at field locations. Therefore, it is critical for you to arrive on time.
  • You are responsible for your own transportation throughout the day. We will be conducting activities at different sites within Sandy Hook.
  • Each program runs approximately two hours.
  • Please print these driving directions plus parking details. Meet at Building  #22, Fort Hancock, as noted on map, to begin program.
  • A Gift Shop is available on the premises. All gift shop proceeds support NJMSC education programs. The Gift Shop will be open before and after all programs.
  • Participants are not allowed to participate in the program without their shoes on. Old sneakers are best - no open-toe shoes.
  • Participants are not allowed in the water unless they are taking their turn at seining (we supply boots).
  • Participants should bring collection bags for shells if participating in Marsh and Ocean Study, Salt Marsh Study, or On Sandy Shores.
  • Participants will be outdoors for the majority of the time and should dress appropriately.
  • For participants who have access to a cell phone, it is advisable to bring one. Please let NJMSC guides know if a cell phone will be available. In case of emergency, they can direct you to the best number to call.
  • To better accommodate all participants, please notify NJMSC if there are any participants with physical disabilities. Sand wheelchairs are available upon advance request.
  • The availability of food and beverages on Sandy Hook is extremely limited. It is advisable to bring your own.
