If you have a death wish...One sip will give you a gauranteed sore throat. I bought an at home watewr test kit and sent in a sample of the Marnegat Bay water and the company replied with an urgent message to not drink that water.

Since the Barnegat Bay is not truly an estuary, but is the culmination of several rivers into a bay located behind a 30-odd mile long barrier island and a series of small sandy islands, the flow is not directional, but is tidal in nature with the flow being outbound or inbound through inlets to the ocean.
A person can swim in the bay in New Jersey. Barnegat Bay is brackish, so it is not highly recommended.
Yes we got three dozen last weekend.
It's from all the crap that comes out of the Hudson River and all the off shore dumping. Barnegat Bay is even worse. You couldn't pay me to swim in the bay.
