Beth Freiday is a Fish and Wildlife Biologist located in the New Jersey Field Office. Beth’s project is working to restore and strengthen more than 36,000 acres of tidal marsh on the Atlantic coast and the Delaware Bay in New Jersey. Bird ecology has fascinated her since she was a child living in Florida. Back then, her family rescued a brown pelican entangled in a fishing line. “That one bird opened up a whole world of birds that I didn’t know existed until that day,” she says.
