Let’s hope this program can be extended to other locations in Barnegat Bay.
It would be interesting to learn the impacts of the intense thermal plume emerging from Oyster Creek as a result of the Nuclear Generating Station;
or the quality of the waters off Cedar Creek, which is one of the least developed watersheds in New Jersey;
or the conditions near the mouth of the Metedeconk, where fresh water depleted by BTMUA’s withdrawals meets salt water entering via the Point Pleasant Canal.
