NFWF Grant Profile

Conduct an ecosystem restoration site assessment and design for 165 acres of tidal marshes and transitional forest in New Jersey’s Raritan River Watershed, which will provide high quality habitat for fish, resident birds, and migratory species. Project will result in a 50+ page engineering plan sheet with a permit-ready design to reduce coastal inundation and erosion along 2.5+ miles of shoreline for neighboring flood-prone communities and enhance breeding and/or foraging habitat for 10 state-listed threatened and endangered avian species.
