NY/NJ Baykeeper Pumpout Boat In Navesink, Shrewsbury and Raritan Bay

KEYPORT, NJ — Need the holding tank of your boat pumped out? Instead of discharging the holding tank into the water, call NY/NJ Baykeeper! Their free pumpout boat will come over to you and do the service.

NY/NJ Baykeeper’s fleet of pumpout boats are now servicing Jamaica Bay, Sheepshead Bay, Sandy Hook Bay, Raritan Bay, the Shrewsbury River, and the Navesink River. These waterways fall victim to pollution due to the large number of recreational boats using the waterways.

With increased use of the water by recreational boaters, raw sewage pollution has become a serious problem. Discharging raw sewage into the water can causes algae blooms, which deplete the oxygen in the water causing fish to die.

To prevent this pollution, NY/NJ Baykeeper offers convenient and environmentally-friendly free pumpouts to recreational boaters. In 2016, NY/NJ Baykeeper diverted 32,000 gallons of waste through the pumpout program.
