Anticipation builds as you get closer. Asphalt and shopping malls give way to an expanse of green as you pass through the coastal forest. The air gets cooler on a fresh sea breeze and backseat fidgeting is suspended when the kids realize you’re on final approach. Then, you come around a curve and your eyes land on jewels Tof sunlight dancing on the bay. Fishing boats bob on the waves as Jet-Skis slalom between them. In the distance, the Ferris wheel makes its endless journey. Excitement rushes through the car. You’re only minutes from your destination – fun and sun in America’s Greatest Family Resort. The sea, the sand, the Boardwalk – wide, handsome avenues lined with pretty homes, unique shops, restaurants and com- fortable hotels. It’s the Jersey Shore’s charming, family-friendly, fun vacation paradise.

This draft report is a work-in- progress. This draft has neither been reviewed nor approved by the chairman or members of the GSPT board. The director's draft is being posted in parts as they are completed to make the information publicly available pending submission, review and final approval by the GSPT board. Garden State Preservation Trust Fiscal Year 2011 DRAFT Annual Report This is the Annual Report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the Fiscal Year 2011 from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. It has always been goal and mission of the Garden State Preservation Trust to place preservation first. This report reflects that priority. The most common suggestion concerning prior annual reports was to give more prominent placement to statistics about land preservation. This report is structured to place the preservation data first and to provide it in unprecedented detail. Information and financial data concerning GSPT financing, recent appropriations and agency operations are contained in the chapters which follow the acreage tables. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2011 Fiscal Year in compliance with P.L. 1999 C.152 section 8C-15. It is also intended to be a comprehensive summary of required financial reporting from FY2000 through FY2011.

We have prepared this document, Atlantic City Tourism District Master Plan, Vol. 4, in order to more directly address these three requirements of a Master Plan. While the Master Plan prepared in 2012 for the Tourism District provided certain goals and objectives, we believe it is necessary to bolster those statements and include the purposes of the MLUL and other goals and objectives that will assist the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) in preparing land use regulations and in our review of future land use applications for development or redevelopment. The goals and objectives as proposed for the Tourism District Master Plan are outlined in Section 1 of this amendment. Section 2 of this amendment includes the Land Use Element.

  • Cape May County
    CAPE MAY COUNTY REFERENCE TIDE GAUGE - CAPE MAY FERRY TERMINAL The Cape May Ferry Terminal tide gauge is located along the Cape May Canal near the outlet to Delaware Bay. Oceanfront High and low tides on the oceanfront occur up to around 1 hour earlier than the high and low tides at the ferry terminal. Back bays The larger back bays of Cape May County (from north to south) include Great Egg Harbor Bay, Peck Bay, Ludlum Bay, Townsend Sound, Stites Sound, Great Sound, Jenkins Sound, Grassy Sound, Richardson Sound, Jarvis Sound and Cape May Harbor. There are a number of smaller bays and channels within and behind the barrier islands. High tides on the back bays of Cape May County occur up to 1 hour earlier than those at the ferry terminal. Low tides occur anywhere from 45 minutes before to 45 minutes after those at the ferry terminal. The back bays present a problem during prolonged periods of onshore flow. For each successive tide cycle that the back bays are not allowed to drain, the water levels increase. Delaware Bay For the Delaware Bay shoreline in Cape May County the high tides occur up to about ½ hour later at the north end of the county than at the ferry terminal. Low tides occur up to around 1 hour later. Data Acquisition In order to access data from the Cape May Ferry Terminal gauge, use the National Ocean Service web site at http://tidesonline.nos.noaa.gov/ or the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service site at http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=phi.
