The Harbor Herons Work Group is a subcommittee to the NY&NJ Harbor & Estuary Program and is a multi-organization, multidisciplinary, collaborative initiative created to coordinate colonial waterbird conservation projects. The conservation effort has grown to include the habitat conservation, restoration, public outreach and education, and scientific research. The group meets annually to share research, discuss current issues, and plan out future conservation and restoration actions.
