Highlands held a public discussion session at its February 5, 2025 Council Meeting. Missed it? Click here.
What we would like to do:
This Highlands’ Project will expand destination amenities providing a unique look at a Jersey Shore historic
clam depuration industry that continues today. A new perspective of harvesting clams growing in our waters
and building a respect for the health and resiliency of the shellfish growing waters and our environment.
Highlands Borough will utilize conceptual design, economic/market analysis and feasibility studies to formulate
a plan for the Clam Depuration Plant public enhancements. Creation of a dedicated office for the Plant as well
as an educatio center and maritime exhibit space on site for live demonstrations for visitors including the nautical
history of the Bayshore regional clamming industry. Creation of a walk-through area to see the clam depuration
process live without disrupting workflow.
