The Richard Stockton College Coastal Research Center(CRC)and the Monmouth University Urban Coast Institute(UCI)have completed a reconnaissancelevel project to determine if there is a relationship between selected areas of intertidal wetland (i.e. Spartina alterniflora salt marsh) edge erosion along the mainland shoreline of Barnegat Bay and nearby state channelsrnas well as other waterways in need of dredging which were shoaled as a result of Hurricane Sandy. The goal of the project is to identify eroded edges of intertidal wetlands that can be restored to pre-existing conditions can be defined as using sediment dredged from the shoaled state navigation channels in an effort to reduce future flood risk to adjacent coastal development.
