Wetlands Institute and MuseumDescriptionFounded in 1969 by Herbert Mills, Executive Director of the World Wildlife Fund, the Wetlands Institute is a not-for-profit organization encouraging appreciation of wetlands and coastal ecosystems.
Located in Middle Township close to Stone Harbor and historic Cape May, the Wetlands Institute is uniquely housed in a cedar shake building designed to look like a turn-of-the-century coast guard station.
Situated overlooking 6,000 acres of pristine coastal wetlands, the Institute hosts over 40,000 visitors each year. Here, visitors can learn the exciting facts about life in the salt marsh environment. Througout the year, many species of birds can be seen from our viewing areas.
