Black-Eyed Susans Tavern and Restaurant in Harvey Cedars is partnering with the Nature Conservancy for a “shark shindig” on Friday, Sept. 26 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

In this gala event on the restaurant’s second floor, the co-sponsors are celebrating the three shark species – sand tiger, sandbar and smooth dogfish – that rely on New Jersey’s salt marshes to survive.
