code of ethics To enter and leave beaches in prescribed ways. To eliminate speeding and reckless driving. To respect local ordinances and the rights of property owners. To offer aid to any fisherman or buggy owner in trouble on the beach. To respect picnicking and bathing groups by: (a) avoiding them whenever possible; (b) by slowing to minimum speed when passing picnicking or bathing groups. To avoid littering the beach with trash, cans, etc.. by using trash barrels when available, or by taking it with you when leaving the area. To avoid over-crowding any one area and elbowing other anglers out of their chosen spots. This is particularly important where surf men without buggies are concentrated. To leave the track when a halt is made, so that other buggies will not be forced to detour. To fill in holes after getting stuck, and to avoid indiscriminately crisscrossing tracks. To observe the rules of common courtesy on the beach. Simplify passing of vehicles meeting head-on in a single track: The driver who has the dunes on his right will be required to turn out of the track to the right. This rule to be tempered with common sense in difficult circumstances. To ask those who park their gear in the middle of the track if they will move it and explain in a courteous manner why. Do not drive at night without lights, but when approaching fishermen, drive behind them and avoid shining lights on fishermen and water. To realize that fishing is a God-given sport and to keep it on a high plane so that others may enjoy it as well.

Conservation Projects IBSP BEach Clean UP date: March 22, 2025 Location: Parking lot at Buggy Entrance After a couple months of planning and organizing, we had 25 volunteers show up on March 22, 2025. Coffee, water and pastries were provided before moving over to the far edge of lot in OB1. There we put a taper cut on the top of the poles, and then installed all the signs right there in the parking lot. We then split into 2 groups, one starting at A23 and heading north, the other from Area 1 going south. Once finished, we headed back to OB1 and had an NJBBA lunch with all the fixings. The 2 signs at A23 & A22 will be installed when we receive them. Everyone had a great time! Many, Many Thanks to everyone who participated! 1/12 ocean fun day date: May 17, 2025 Location: Parking lot at Buggy Entrance Ocean Fun Days was held on May 17th 2025 at IBSP. The NJBBA was there with games and prizes to give out to the children after they tried their luck at fishing. A big thanks to Nancy Paulick for taking the time to put all the prizes together, the children loved them! We had a blue tarp down to represent water and a half a dozen different rubber fish with a loop at the mouth and the kids used a bamboo pole with a makeshift hook on the end to lower it down and hook a fish. Patience and a steady hand provided an easy catch for most and some were better than others. Some adults even asked if they could try, everyone had a good time. We had Q&A’s, membership forms and we even had our mascot present, some of the people really enjoyed seeing it and talking about it. I want to thank those who came out and volunteered that day to help make this event run as smooth as it did. 1/8 national trail days In celebration we the NJBBA join hands with bikers, hikers, sierra club members and other groups to unite as one. We maintain a trail in IBSP and on that day we clean and clear that path for another year. Come join us at 9am that day at Interpretive Centerto set up. The first Saturday every June is designated National Trails Day (NTD) in the United States. On that day every year more than a million hikers, bikers, equestrians, and others take part in thousands of events nationwide in celebration of America's trails. These events include new trail dedications, workshops, educational exhibits, equestrian and mountain bike rides, rollerblading, trail maintenance, and hikes on America's favorite trails. National Trails Day is organized nationwide by the American Hiking Society, a national nonprofit trail advocacy group based in Washington, DC. All events, however, are planned and carried out at the local level by conservation and recreation organizations, trail clubs, and land managing agencies. Originally established in 1993, NTD has grown to approximately 3,000 events across the country. "It has really worked, and the collaboration has been quite extraordinary," noted Steve Elkinton, Program Leader for the National Trails System, when I recently asked him about NTD. Goals of National Trails Day The objectives of National Trails Day not only include promoting public awareness of and appreciation for America's trails, but also encouraging cooperative efforts among different trail users, including hikers, bicyclists, equestrians, walkers, runners and anyone else who enjoys being on the trail. As Elkinton noted, "the attitude towards National Trails Day has been so wonderful, that even motorized and non-motorized groups lay down their swords for the day and cooperate." In celebrating the values and benefits of our nation's trails, a unifying idea and long-range goal of National Trails Day is the concept of "Trails for All Americans" -- that is, to establish a nationwide network of trails that would link together as part of the nation’s infrastructure of greenways, like the interstate highway system. "The idea of a coordinated system is a difficult objective to achieve" notes Elkinton. "Trails come in so many shapes, sizes, and cut across so many jurisdictional boundaries.

Volunteer day “Volunteers Day Off” came about when Ray Bukowski, IBSP Park Manager and Paul Harris, President of NJBBA, came up with the idea that, “We should have a day off for all the hard work the organization did after Super Storm Sandy hit the New Jersey coast. A day off for all that came out, in all kinds of weather to volunteer their valuable time working to restore and clean up the beaches at the park. This will be a day that no work is to be done, just a get together to relax, fish and enjoy each others company.” NJBBA will continue to hold this day, every year for all the volunteers that come out and spend their valuable time, working on club projects like, installing snow fence, beach clean-ups, and trail rebuilding. There is a plaque hanging on the wall in the park office that honors the volunteer with his or her name, that catches the biggest fish on “Volunteer’s Day”. “Get Involved!
