The Jacques Cousteau Coastal Center in Tuckerton, New Jersey serves as the hub for education and outreach programs associated with the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve. The Center is a state-of-the-art facility including a classroom equipped with video conferencing, Internet capable computer workstations, a library of K-12 curriculum materials, and a 16-bed dormitory. Managed by the Institute of Marine & Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University, the Center is designed to primarily serve adult learners including K-12 educators and coastal decision-makers. Programs for families, senior citizens, and students are held at the Coastal Center and the Tuckerton Seaport.
Directions:
Take the New Jersey Garden State Parkway - Exit 58 (Rt. 539). Go south on Rt. 539 towards the Tuckerton Seaport/Borough of Tuckerton. At the third light (intersection with Route 9) make a right onto Route 9 south. At the next traffic light, make a left onto Great Bay Blvd. The entrance to the Coastal Center is ~ 1/4 mile on the right hand side, just after the Radio Road intersection. Look for a shell driveway and a silver mailbox (#130) on your right. The building is set back slightly from the road - if you go past the Tuckerton Dental Office, you have gone too far!
