The Ciba-Geigy Superfund site in Toms River, NJ, has caused significant hazardous chemical pollution, resulting in a cancer cluster within the local community. Despite plans by NJDEP and BASF Corp to transform parts of the site into parks and education centers, these measures fail to adequately address the contamination and compensate affected families.

We are stepping in to support Save Barnegat Bay by expanding its capacity and teaching young people how to fight these issues. CRAN is also working on the legislative side to pass necessary laws and engage the community to ensure their voices are heard. By connecting with local leaders and forming a coalition, CRAN aims to secure comprehensive cleanup, environmental justice, and long-term health for Toms River residents.
