Along the Jersey Shore, swells from #HurricaneErin and local wind swells are increasing riptides and dangerous surf conditions, which are expected to peak this Thursday.
To keep visitors safe, @dep.nj.gov is suspending swimming at Island Beach State Park until further notice.

On this 56th anniversary of Stonewall, and amidst this difficult moment for LGBTQ+ people across America, I am reminded that Pride is not owed—it is owing.
Let’s continue opening hearts, changing minds, and securing laws that ensure lived equality for all LBGTQ+ people.

It's simple really (or should be): clean air, land, and water—for ALL.
Our public & environmental health should never depend on the numbers in our zip codes or paychecks.
Many thanks to the @dep.nj.gov pros working to further the promise of environmental justice.

Black bear den work with the NJDEP Fish & Wildlife team this week. Kept these 2+mo old cubs safe and warm while our wildlife biologists checked in on mom as part of the NJ’s Black Bear Research & Management Project.
NJ’s black bear population is strong & healthy thanks to @newjerseydep.bsky.social!
Almost all wildfires are human-caused. Here’s what we can do to reduce fire risk:
🚭 do not discard cigarettes on the ground
🪵 carefully extinguish fireplace & wood stove embers
🛻 keep trailer chains from dragging & sparking

We all must take precautions to reduce wildfire risk as dry conditions persist across New Jersey.
So far in 2025, the NJDEP Forest Fire Service has responded to 356+ wildfires that have burned 1,240+ acres. That’s an increase of 266% over the same time last year.
