  • 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.

After Commissioner Martin’s update, thousands of local volunteers, students and DEP staff fanned out across the estuary’s watershed to clean up trash and debris as part of the massive Blitz effort, which raises awareness of the Governor’s action plan and the bay’s recovery efforts. “Superstorm Sandy hit the Barnegat Bay region extremely hard,” Commissioner Martin said during the event at Cattus Island Park in Toms River, Ocean County. “While we had to shift resources all across the state to respond to the storm, we never lost sight of the goals Governor Christie laid out when we launched the Barnegat Bay Comprehensive Action Plan at the end of 2010. Neither did residents. They continue to show their support through the Barnegat Bay Blitz, which is an important part of the effort by raising public awareness about the complex ecological challenges the bay faces.” “We have many accomplishments to celebrate today,” Commissioner Martin added.

  • 2017 New Jersey Osprey Project Report
    The 2017 Osprey Project in New Jersey Benjamin Wurst, Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ and Kathleen Clark, Endangered and Nongame Species Program NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife Sixteen year old male osprey (band # 788-45514) who nests on the Delaware Bay. April 2017. photo by Brian Kushner January, 2018 The 2017 Osprey Project in New Jersey This year a statewide census of nesting ospreys was conducted. It followed the same successful census of 2013, without the use of manned aircraft, where citizen scientists or “Osprey Watchers,” biologists, and specially trained volunteers recorded activity at nest sites. As you may know, all known osprey nests are published online, via Osprey-Watch.org. Our goal for the census was to collect as much data as possible, to determine a more accurate size of the statewide population. This work would not be possible without the hard work and determination of our Osprey Project volunteers and many Osprey Watchers. We can’t thank them enough for all their efforts. Historically speaking, previous censuses were conducted using manned aircraft (in the 1980s to 2009) to survey large areas of the coast twice during the nesting season. Today, surveys begin upon spring arrival, where citizen scientists record activity at known nest sites. Osprey Watchers help contribute data on nests outside of our typical ground survey areas and help fill in data gaps. Ground surveys (by boat) of more densely populated nesting colonies occur in late June and early July. These surveys are timed to occur during the nestling period, or when the young are old enough to be visible from the ground (around 3-4 weeks old) and not capable of flight.

The j Barnegat Bay, located in Ocean County, New Jersey, is a 75 square mile ecosystem. This environmentally sensitive estuary is replete with aquatic vegetation, shellfish beds, finfish habitats, waterfowl nesting grounds, and spectacular vistas. Much of the water in the Barnegat Bay drains from a watershed area of approximately 450 miles, encompassing most of Ocean County. The headwaters of the streams feeding the Bay are located in the Pine Barrens. Pristine water flows through predominantly forested areas as it follows the gentle slope of the coastal plain. As the flow moves eastward and the waterways increase in size, so too does the population inhabiting the adjacent land areas, whiC;h become primarily residential in nature. The watershed supports nearly 435,000 people year 'round, a population which more than doubles during the summer season. The Bay provides a shallow estuarine ecosystem which supports a riCh mix of species. For instance, it is a year-round nursery for winter flounder, nesting grounds for the endangered least tern, a critical overwintering site for large numbers of American black ducks and Atlantic brant, as well as a feeding site for populations of otters.

  • Thesis Complete 2012
    ABSTRACT Sea nettles (Chrysaora quinquecirrha) have become abundant in the estuaries of the Mid- Atlantic States. Their ample numbers are an indicator of a disturbed ecosystem. Various factors have been attributed to the rise in numbers of sea nettles including eutrophication, overfishing, global warming, construction and species introduction. Barnegat Bay is a highly eutrophic system with excess nitrogen and organic carbon arriving in the bay via runoff and watershed waste inputs. Many commercial fisheries in Barnegat Bay have ceased to exist and the remaining fisheries are dwindling. An overabundance of medusae and polyps will further impact fisheries since jellyfish compete with larval fish when young and prey on planktonic eggs and larvae as they mature. While observations of the medusa stage indicate a disproportionate abundance in the northern part of the bay, quantification of these differences has not taken place. Information about the life history of the Chrysaora quinquecirrha polyp in the field is limited. This research focused on undertaking a settlement survey of polyps from eight sites in Barnegat Bay. Results showed initial settlement in July with continued settlement observed until November. Of the eight sites monitored monthly, only two sites showed settlement and both of these occurred in the northern portion of the bay. Peak settlement was seen at Cattus Island during August with 1,528 polyps collected from that settling plate. Water quality assessment indicated that these sites had lower salinities than all of the other sites except Toms River. Previous research in the Chesapeake Bay has established that Chrysaora quinquecirrha polyps are only found in waters of 5-20ppt salinity.
