Hurricane Sandy devastated sandy beach habitats along NJ鈥檚 Delaware Bay shoreline. These critical habitats support spawning horseshoe crabs and foraging migratory shorebirds.
The CRC, in partnership with the American Littoral Society and USFWS, developed projects
to restore storm damaged beaches. Living shoreline projects designed to enhance and
stabilize the restored beach habitats are underway across the state. Additional goals
are to enhance ecological and community resilience, restore degraded marsh, and understand
the long and short term movement of sediment along the Delaware Bay shoreline.
