Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan

The BBP has revised its long-term plan for protecting and restoring clean water and healthy living resources in the bay and its watershed. The 2021 Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan for the Barnegat Bay – Little Egg Harbor Estuary is a roadmap for the agencies, organizations, and local communities working collectively to improve the condition of this nationally significant estuary.

Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan

The CCMP is our long-term, community-developed plan for tackling the environmental threats to the estuary and ensuring clean water and a healthy bay for future generations. The 2021 CCMP establishes four main priority areas for action: water quality, water supply, living resources, and land use. For each priority, the plan specifies one or more goals, several objectives, and multiple actions to achieve those objectives. It also sets eight ecosystem targets – specific environmental outcomes which combine actions across multiple priorities and can be monitored to measure progress.
