Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station - Charity

Charity

Oyster Creek's owners also pursue a policy of helping local and statewide environmental projects and organizations improve the environment, through financial support or the resources of its employees' time and expertise. Supported environmental projects include:

• "Sport Fish Fund," a not-for-profit organization that administers the reef-building fund to construct a 46-acre (19 ha) patch reef within the Barnegat Light Reef. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Fish and Wildlife oversees the Artificial Reef Program.
• Purchasing a boat for the Rutgers University Cooperative Extension Service Clam Restoration Project, working to re-establish clam beds in the Barnegat Bay.
• Partnering with Drexel University to track sea turtles, which are rescued at the station. The turtles recoup at the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, before being returned to their habitat.
• New Jersey Audubon Society in regard of the society's efforts to help rescue and clean waterfowl impacted by an oil spill on the Delaware River.
