Ospreys are important indicators of the health of our coastal waters, through the lens of their prey, where pollutants are bio magnified through the food chain. As we consume many of the same fish, they show the effects of these pollutants long before humans, so the health of their population has implications for our coastal waters and us!

Ben Wurst, Habitat Program Manager with Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ will share his experience managing this amazing species over the past 10+ years.

As the most densely populated state in the nation, wildlife in New Jersey already faces a unique set of challenges. A rapidly changing climate is now exacerbating those threats and creating new ones. Join Conserve Wildlife Foundation executive director David Wheeler as he explores the impacts of climate change on the wildlife of the Garden State, ranging from fiercer, more frequent storms and sea level rise to shifts in habitat, disrupted migration timing, and more invasive species.
