Seine the Bay Survey
Osprey Nest Monitoring Project
In 2009, volunteers with the Bayshore Regional Watershed Council started an Osprey Nest Monitoring Project to monitor all nests in the Raritan Bay – Sandy Hook Bay watershed region throughout the nesting season. The Osprey Nest Monitoring Project allows volunteers to fill in the gaps left by state wildlife biologists by monitoring osprey platforms and nests near their home or workplace. All data will add to a better understanding of osprey arrival dates, nest success and other aspects of osprey biology in the state. This knowledge also will enhance the state’s surveys and support conservation decisions for osprey. Data gathered about this majestic bird also can serve as indicators of environmental health. Because ospreys are high on the food chain and eat foods—primarily fish—that accumulate toxins, their status can foretell problems that also may affect humans.
