The Barnegat Bay Watershed Educational Resource Guide
Barnegat Bay Watershed Educational Resource Guide Prepared by Christine R. Raabe For the Ocean County Soil Conservation District and the Barnegat Bay Watershed Environmental Educators Roundtable Updated: March 2012 by the Barnegat Bay Partnership Table of Contents Introduction How to Use this Guide 1. Organizations and Agencies Involved with Barnegat Bay Watershed Education 2. National Organizations for Additional Resources 3. A Synopsis of Teacher Resources 4. Other Resource Guides and Directories 5. Map Resources 6. Barnegat Bay Watershed Environmental Educators Roundtable Steering Committee Members i Introduction The Ocean County Soil Conservation District and the Barnegat Bay Watershed Environmental Educators Roundtable discovered that educators within the watershed need assistance in finding pertinent information and resources if they are to effectively teach about the Barnegat Bay watershed and the issues that impact it. This guide has been compiled to answer that need. What began as a simple directory has grown into an annotated compendium of resources and organizations offering numerous programs, publications, field trips, and watershed information which educators can incorporate into their lessons and activities. It is a guide that will prove useful to anyone searching for information about the features and functions of the Barnegat Bay watershed. This Educator’s Resource Guide will be updated periodically. Please help us keep the document current by e-mailing Mary Judge at [email protected] with any additions, deletions, or corrections to the entries in this directory. Thank you for your help with this ongoing project. Original funding for this guide was provided by the USEPA and the NJDEP through the Barnegat Bay Partnership (BBP, formerly Barnegat Bay National Estuary Program) and the Partnership for Nonpoint Source Pollution Control in the Barnegat Bay Watershed. -

Gurney U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WATER-DATA REPORT NJ-92-2 Prepared in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy and with other agencies UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BRUCE BABBITT, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Dallas L. Peck, Director For information on the water program in New Jersey write to: District Chief, Water Resources Division U.S. Geological Survey Mountain View Office Park 810 Bear Tavern Road, Suite 206 West Trenton, New Jersey 08628 1993 PREFACE This volume of the annual hydrologic data report of New Jersey is one of a series of annual reports that document hydrologic data gathered from the U.S. Geological Survey's surface- and ground-water data-collection networks in each State, Puerto Rico, and the Trust Territories. These records of streamflow, ground-water levels, and water quality provide the hydrologic information needed by state, local, and federal agencies, and the private sector for developing and managing our Nation's land and water resources. Hydrologic data for New Jersey are contained in 2 volumes: Volume 1. Surface-Water Data Volume 2. Ground-Water Data This report is the culmination of a concerted effort by dedicated personnel of the U.S. Geological Survey who collected, compiled, analyzed, verified, and organized the data, and who typed, edited, and assembled the report.

NEW JERSEY CONSERVATION Saving Land A Directory of Land Conservation Organizations in New Jersey 2017 Cover photo: Hill & Dale Preserve from www.njconservation.org. 2 Saving Land A Directory of Land Conservation Organizations in New Jersey August 2017 Compiled by New Jersey Conservation Foundation With the following Volunteers: Anne Gaus Ali Hiple Ash Kumar Kirill Leshiner John Romanko Valerie Snow Visit www.njconservation.org to view the directory online. 3 Celebrate Saving Land! Thank you to the 112 nonprofit conservation organi- zations working to preserve New Jersey’s natural, cultur- al, recreational and agricultural lands. Together, with state agencies and local governments, a total of 1.4 mil- lion acres (29%) of New Jersey’s lands are preserved. These lands protect drinking water supplies, provide local healthy foods, encourage a healthy citizenry, and ensure a diversity of habitats for current and future generations. We are awed by the work of our state’s nonprofit conservation partners, and are happy to say that New Jer- sey Conservation Foundation has partnered with over three-fourths of the organizations featured in the “Saving Land” directory. We will continue to embrace our conser- vation assistance role—Land Trust Network, annual land conservation conference, and Franklin Parker Conserva- tion Excellence grants—to maintain the strength of our conservation community. We have about one million acres yet to preserve. Let’s get to work—together! Michele S. Byers Executive Director New Jersey Conservation Foundation 4 Building bridges with NJ’s land trust community 5 About The Directory The directory will promote communication and partnerships among groups within the conservation com- munity. -
Hackensack Meadowlands, New Jersey, Biodiversity: a Review and Synthesis
Kiviat & MacDonald, Hackensack Meadowlands Hackensack Meadowlands, New Jersey, Biodiversity: A Review and Synthesis Erik Kiviat and Kristi MacDonald Hudsonia Ltd. P.O. Box 5000, Annandale, New York 12504-5000 USA Prepared for the Hackensack Meadowlands Partnership 8 August 2002 © Hudsonia Ltd., Annandale, New York, 2002 Corrections and Updates to: Hackensack Meadowlands, New Jersey, Biodiversity: A Review and Synthesis By Erik Kiviat and Kristi MacDonald, Hudsonia Ltd. We will occasionally add information to this section of the report instead of frequently changing the report itself. This section last changed 23 June 2003 by EK. Corrections : P. 40: The laboratory work of J. Weis comparing reed and cordgrass detritus did not use mummichogs, only fiddler crabs and grass shrimp. P. 93: The correct year of publication for Labriola is 2000. Labriola should precede Langan. P. 97: The Yuhas 2001 thesis was prepared at New Jersey Institute of Technology, not Rutgers University. Table 4: American coot should be indicated (*) as water or wetland-associated; barn-owl should not be. Updates : P. 32: In July 2002, an apparent family group of northern harrier (Endangered) was observed on multiple days at the Carlstadt-Moonachie marshes (Empire tract), indicating breeding at that location. Thus the Empire tract and the Berry’s Creek marshes are the two known breeding localities for this species in the Meadowlands. P. 65: To the best of our knowledge, this clam-shrimp species is known from only about 10 localities in its global range. If this species were reviewed by the State Natural Heritage Program it would be ranked G1 S1. The Meadowlands population therefore may have considerable significance for conservation. -
