The Wetlands Institute is a research, education and conservation center at the Jersey Shore that promotes appreciation, understanding and stewardship of wetlands and coastal ecosystems. It engages visitors of all ages to learn about the essential role of coastal ecosystems in daily life. Its programs include a diamondback terrapin conservation effort and work across bird conservation, coastal issues, climate change, sustainability, fisheries, biodiversity, water resources, and related areas. Headquartered in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, the organization operates as a small to mid-sized entity within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector. The institute emphasizes public education and field research to support conservation goals. In August 2023, it launched the Coastal Sustainability and Wetland Health Research Program to advance its research and conservation agenda.
