  • 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.

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.

  • Farmland Makes up the Largest Percentage of Open Space in the Region
    EARTH DAY 2001 WILMINGTON STORM DRAIN MARKING PROJECT TEAM CAPTAIN HANDBOOK BACKGROUND INFORMATION: What's the Delaware Estuary? The Delaware Estuary is the 133-mile section of the Delaware River from the falls at Trenton, NJ to the mouth of the Delaware Bay between Cape May, NJ and Cape Henlopen, DE. It is the tidal portion of the Delaware River, including the bay and all tidal tributaries that empty into the river. The Delaware Estuary encompasses twenty-two counties within Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. A majority of the Delaware Estuary's 5 million people live in one of the regions three largest cities, including Wilmington. This highly commercialized area is also a vital ecosystem. The Estuary is home to over 130 species of finfish as well as clams, oysters, and crabs. The second largest concentration of migrating shorebirds in the western hemisphere can also be found in the Delaware Estuary, along with habitat for 15 different species of waterfowl, totaling half a million individuals, who either migrate through or spend the winter here. Also found in the Delaware Estuary is the largest population of spawning horseshoe crabs in the world. Why should you mark storm drains? Rain and melting snow pick up all kinds of pollutants as they wash over our gardens, lawns, sidewalks, driveways, and streets. Most of this stormwater flows into storm drains (also called sewer inlets) in the street, many of which empty directly into local creeks that eventually make their way to the Delaware River. Polluted stormwater harms these waterways - which we rely on for drinking water and recreation.
