Fair Haven, NJ - Greenlines, a board shorts company based out of Atlantic Highlands, will host a fundraiser Thursday night for NY/NJ Baykeeper at their Fair Haven store.

The event will serve as both a fundraiser and information session. Guests will enjoy fresh oysters from Forty North Oyster Farms and oyster wine donated by Proud Pour. NY/NJ Baykeeper will be available to share information on their latest oyster restoration project: Installing nearly a mile of concrete block oyster reefs into Raritan Bay, which Patch wrote about last week.

Board shorts and other beach apparel will be for sale by Greenlines, with part of proceeds going towards NY/NJ Baykeeper. The event is open to the public and free of charge.
