Lathrop Sara J. Malone Elizabeth Pyshnik Dr. Jennifer Whytlaw About the Sustainable Raritan River Initiative Rutgers University launched the Sustainable Raritan River Initiative (SRRI) in 2009 to convene scientists, engineers, business and community leaders, environmental advocates and governmental entities to craft an agenda for the restoration and preservation of New Jersey’s Raritan River, its tributaries and bay. A joint program of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, the SRRI partners with other Rutgers units (through the Rutgers Raritan River Consortium) and with stakeholders from across the Raritan region to ensure multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives and contributions. Participants share a commitment to science-informed policies for sustaining the ecological, economic and community assets attributable to the Raritan. The SRRI fosters university-based research and scholarship that is focused on the Raritan. This knowledge is then translated into practical educational programming and technical assistance to support regional planning, policy and business decision-making. We conduct conferences and topical workshops, provide technical assistance, and develop anchor projects that raise the profile of the Raritan River. The SRRI and our watershed partners recognize the importance of a regional approach to resolving the complex issues associated with the restoration and future protection of the Raritan River, its estuary and all its tributaries.

  • Public Access and Recreation
    Sustainable Raritan River Initiative November 2009 Public Access and Recreation Introduction One effective way to increase awareness, knowledge and a sense of commitment of regional stakeholders to restoring the condition of the Raritan is to increase public access and recreational use of the River. If more people are enjoying outdoor experiences that include boating or fishing on the river, or walking or biking on trails alongside the river, it will increase public support for keeping the river as clean and healthy as possible and retaining scenic values. Users feel a sense of ownership of the river. The economic potential of day-users of the River to surrounding towns and counties is not insignficant. People coming to recreate on or along the river will spend money to buy food and supplies and will stop in local shops and restaurants. Further, a region that can celebrate and promote the historical, cultural, economic and ecological value of its river is a region that can become more attractive to not only commercial investment but people choosing to live in an area with a good quality of life. One of the key facets is to making more people aware of the many potential recreational uses of the River is to find more ways to improve access to the river itself for water-oriented recreation and to the banks of the river or areas with river views for pedestrian and bicylce- oriented recreation. To achieve this overall goal, the three priority needs are to: 1. Increase awareness and use of current access points and river-oriented trails.
