It is approximately ten miles south of Wilmington, Delaware and 35 miles south of Philadelphia. Figure 1 shows the refuge and vicinity. History of the Refuge The presence of the Service in Salem County was initiated by Executive Order 6582, issued by President F. D. Roosevelt in 1934. This Order established the Killcohook Migratory Bird Refuge and gave the Service (then the Bureau of Biological Survey) secondary jurisdiction of the 1500-acre property "...as a refuge and breeding ground for wild birds and animals." The US Army Corps of Engineers retained primary jurisdiction of the area for use as a spoil disposal site in connection with dredging operations on the Delaware River. Supawna Meadows National Wildlife Refuge was originally proposed in 1961, as the "Goose Pond Addition" to Killcohook. That year marked the beginning of an accelerated land acquisition program by the Service due to the passage of the Wetlands Loan Act, which authorized $105 million for the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Fund for a seven-year period. The 1961 Goose Pond Addition proposal included approximately 4,000 acres composed of 45 % marsh, 26 % farmland, 20 % water, 6 % brush, and 3 % timber. Construction of three pools was planned and 850 acres were to be used to produce supplemental food for migrating and wintering waterfowl.

This information was used to support the continuation and revision of the current fish consumption advisories for this region and identified the need for additional fish consumption advisories. This booklet summarizes the marine, estuarine and freshwater fish consumption advisories for New Jersey. It provides you with information on how to reduce your risk by avoiding or limiting consumption of certain fish. It also offers guidance in how to prepare the fish you eat from local waters in ways that reduce your exposure to PCBs, dioxins and other contaminants.

Kauffman with contributions from Andrew Homsey, Sarah Chatterson, Erin McVey, and Stacey Mack of IPA’s Water Resources Agency Institute for Public Administration School of Public Policy & Administration College of Arts & Sciences University of Delaware www.ipa.udel.edu serving the public good, shaping tomorrow’s leaders Economic Value of the Delaware Estuary Watershed – COMPREHENSIVE REPORT June 2011 Preface The Delaware River has a long economic and environmental history that dates back 400 years. Today it provides drinking water to over five percent of the United States and supports the world’s largest freshwater port. In the first study of its kind in 20 years, researchers at the Institute for Public Administration’s Water Resources Agency (WRA) conclude that no matter how you count it, the Delaware Estuary’s water supplies and natural resources constitute a substantial economic engine, which contributes more than $10 billion to the regional economy in Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Moreover, the Delaware Estuary is a jobs engine responsible for close to 500,000 jobs that provide over $10 billion in wages. WRA project director Gerald Kauffman led a team of IPA researchers—associate policy scientist Andrew Homsey, who provided GIS mapping support, and graduate research assistants Sarah Chatterson, Erin McVey, and Stacey Mack, who collected ecosystem services and jobs data—in preparation of the writing of this important report.

One hundred fifty-six nest sites were monitored during the nesting season, of which 146 were documented to be active (with eggs) and ten were territorial or housekeeping pairs. Twenty-five new eagle pairs were found this season, eleven in the south, three in central and eleven in northern NJ. One hundred fifteen nests (79%) of the 145 known-outcome nests produced 201 young, for a productivity rate of 1.39 young per active and known-outcome nest.
