For a more in-depth look at the featured artists, please see their full profiles with the provided links at the end of the article. Kris Anderson Kris Anderson’s father came to America from Norway after sailing the world as crewman on a three-masted Barkentine to work in the pound fishing industry at Lavallette. He came to L.B.I. in 1916 and started a pound fishing Photo credit: Karl Anderson Photo credit: Karl company called the Crest Fishery in Beach Haven Terrace which was one of the last Kris Anderson. operating pounds on the New Jersey coast after WWII. Kris and his family were the driving force in creating the replica of the Crest Fishery at the Tuckerton Seaport. He was born in 1933 and attended the Beach Haven Elementary School and Barnegat High School. Kris was able to start going to sea on the pound boats launching and landing from the surf at age 5 and as he grew up, he worked intermittently building the fish boxes, lifting the pounds, changing the nets, pumping the poles into the ocean bottom among all the other chores to operate the fishery daily. We believe he is the last person around that actually went to sea on the pounds boats from the surf. At 13 years old he began fishing on charter boats from the once famous Beach Haven Yacht Club, which had the largest charter fleet in the world in the 30’s leading up to WWII. As a mate he began working for Capt. Fred Nichterlein on the Sea Spray, Capt. Walter Voss on the Pompano, Capt. Bill Howe on the Augusta and several others during the summers through high school and college where he attended the East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. He had many days with great bluefin tuna catches from the Barnegat Ridge and then the bluefish came in and became the targeted catch were on one day while mating for Capt. Dick Johnson on the Four Sisters they caught and incredible 602 bluefish for the charter, making them the high catch boat for the day and the summer. Continued on next page Ocean County Fall 2021 At age 14 he began duck hunting on the Little Egg Bay from his sneakbox, getting towed out to the marsh and back in by friends as he did not have a boat of his own. He made his own black duck decoys from cork that came out of the old Beach Haven Freezer Co. which was the insulation for the large ice freezers. He used whatever he could find for his decoy heads using commercial heads and some of his own carved heads. Those decoys are still ready to go today. He has enjoyed water fowling on the Barnegat, Little Egg and Great Bays as well as goose hunting in the corn field blinds of west Jersey to this day when the opportunity arises. After college he served in the U.S. Army during the Cold War, stationed in Frankfurt, Germany. He returned to Beach Haven and built his family home next to the bay providing the gateway to his lifetime of fishing, clamming, crabbing, scallop dredging, gunning and teaching his family about the importance of a healthy bay to be able to enjoy all these pursuits.

Appendix ………………………………...….50 Executive Summary The Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor (BB-LEH) estuarine system located along the eastern shoreline of Ocean County, New Jersey contains ~ 75% of New Jersey’s known seagrass habitat (Lathrop et al. 2001). Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is the dominant species while widgeongrass (Ruppia maritima) is also common in lower salinity and shallow regions of the BB-LEH. An estuary wide survey was conducted in the summer of 2009 to measure the current extant of seagrass habitat across the BB-LEH system. Aerial imagery collected during the months of July and August 2009 was interpreted and mapped using an object oriented image analysis techniques, similar to techniques used in the 2003 mapping survey. A boat-based in situ dataset was collected concurrently with the aerial photography to assist the image interpretation and for an independent accuracy assessment. Comparison of the classified seagrass presence/absence map and the in situ validation dataset showed an overall thematic map accuracy of 87% while the four class seagrass density map (absent, sparse, moderate, dense seagrass cover) has an overall accuracy of 70%. Results of this work indicate that the overall amount of seagrass beds were similar in 2009 as compared to 2003 (5,122 ha in 2003 vs. 5,260 ha in 2009).

Horton2 1British Geological Survey, Kingsley Dunham Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK 2Department of Earth and Environmental Science, University of Pennsylvania, 240 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA *Corresponding author. Tel+44 (0)115 936 3017; fax+44 (0)115 936 3460. E-mail address: [email protected] Numerous surveys have demonstrated that diffuse pollution from urban-residential run-off and industrial discharges can adversely impact salt marsh and tidal creek sediment quality (Barrett & McBrien, 2006; Fox et al., 2001; Iannuzzi et al., 1995; Long et al., 1995; Sanger et al., 2004; White et al., 2005). The impact of shipping activities, including major discharge of fuel oil onto salt marshes, has also been reported (White et al., 2005). However, few studies have assessed organic pollution accumulating in salt marshes with watersheds that are mainly comprised of forests and wetlands but which have major residential areas located off-shore of the mainland. The salt marshes of Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor Estuary, southeast New Jersey represent one such geographical setting (Fig .1). The shallow (1- 7 m), narrow (3-9 mile) bay is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a back barrier island complex (Long Beach Island) which is heavily developed and a major area of tourism (Fig. 1). The salt marshes are protected and managed as part of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, this comprises 186 km2 of wetlands and 145 km2 of salt marshes and has a mixed pattern of watershed land use such as forestry (45.9 %), wetlands (25.2 %), urban/residential (19.5 %) and agricultural (6.6 %).

Dudas Janis Gibson Kenneth Hollins Richard Kuntz Clara La Parch Richard Updike Ocean County Library Main Branch BUILDING THE NORTH JETTY ON BARNEGAT INLET In the early 1600’s, Barnegat Inlet was discovered and named “Baren-gat” by Dutch explorers. It was one of the most dangerous inlets to navigate along the Atlantic Ocean coast of New Jersey. The locally built wooden sailing schoo- ners, fifty to seventy feet long and smaller sloops using the inlet in the 1800’s were built with centerboards and keels so they could navigate the shallow waters of the inlet and Barnegat Bay. These vessels sailed from the ports of Toms River, Waretown, Barnegat and Forked River year round ex- cept when the bay was frozen. Cargos were mainly charcoal, wood splints and cord wood destined for New York City tenement housing. The fast- er-sailing sloops in summer and fall carried produce, huckleberries, cranberries, clams and other seafood. In 1852 eleven or more schoo- ners left the port of Toms River bound for New York in a week.

This data publication includes a spatial analysis of carbon accumulation rates in Barnegat and Delaware Bay tidal wetlands. One method calculated long-term organic carbon accumulation rates from radioisotope-dated (Cs-137) sediment cores. The second method measured organic carbon density of sediment accumulated above feldspar marker beds. Carbon accumulation rates generated by these two methods were interpolated across emergent wetland areas, using kriging, with uncertainty estimated by leave-one-out cross validation. This spatial analysis revealed greater carbon sequestration within Delaware, compared to Barnegat Bay. Sequestration rates were found to be more variable within Delaware Bay, and rates were greatest in the tidal freshwater area of the upper bay.

Until June 1, 1883, this station was referred to as the Swan Point station. The 1898 Annual Report mentions that "new buildings adapted to present requirements are being erected in place of old and inadequate ones" at this station. In 1938, the station appeared in the records as an inactive station. The property was turned over to GSA in 1953. 1 Keepers: Early keepers were James Numan (an "experienced surfman," he was appointed at the age of 36 on November 22, 1872, and served until he was removed on November 10, 1874), John L.

  • The Barnegat Bay in Ocean County, Ne
    Coastal Economy of the Barnegat Estuary Gerald J. Kauffman and Andrew R. Homsey University of Delaware Water Resources Center School of Public Policy and Administration Newark, Del. Abstract: The Barnegat Bay in Ocean County, New Jersey includes a valuable estuary where tourism fuels a $4 billion annual economy and $432 million in state and local income taxes with $95.1 billion in property tax ratables. The annual economic value of the Barnegat Bay watershed ranges from $2.3 billion from the natural goods and services provided by ecosystems habitat to $4 billion based on estimates of economic activity from public parks, recreation, water quality, forests, fish/wildlife, water supply, and agriculture benefits. The bay watershed is responsible for 50,000 jobs with $1.8 billion in wages in the coastal, estuary, and watershed sectors. The Barnegat Estuary affords substantial benefits to the regional coastal economy. Keywords: coastal economy; estuary; ecosystem services Objectives This research estimates the economic value of the Barnegat Bay watershed in Ocean County, New Jersey along the Atlantic coast of the United States. The objective of this research is to estimate the economic value of the Barnegat Bay watershed related to: (1) economic activity from market and nonmarket use and nonuse value from the water resources, tourism, and recreation sectors, (2) ecosystem services (natural capital) of goods and services provided by habitat, and (3) jobs dependent on the bay and its tributaries. Background The Barnegat Bay watershed and its rivers, beaches, wetlands, and forests in Ocean County, New Jersey have long supported a multi-billion-dollar coastal tourism, recreation, and hunting/fishing/birding economy (Table 1).
