Yr 2003 Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) and Bottom-type GIS data available
The Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis (CRSSA) at Cook College - Rutgers University has completed the mapping of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and bottom-types within Barnegat Bay and Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey.
The purpose of this study was to map the arial extent and density of submerged aquatic vegetation within Barnegat Bay and Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey, as part of on-going monitoring for the Barnegat Bay National Estuary Program. >>

Brown
Tide Monitoring Web Site at CRSSA
Confronted
with the potential threat of brown tide blooms to the state's
coastal waters, the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection Division of Science, Research and Technology (NJDEP/DSRT)
established the Brown Tide Assessment Project and funded a
systematic monitoring program (2000-2003). The objective was
to assess the spatial/temporal extent of brown tide blooms
in selected coastal bays and identify environmental factors
that may contribute to the blooms.
The primary purpose
of the website is to facilitate the distribution of the spatial
extent of brown tide blooms in as near real time as possible
for coastal outreach. >>

Habitat
Loss and Alteration Web Site at CRSSA Gets a Facelift
CRSSA has re-designed its Habitat Loss and Alteration HTMLs,
which consist of CRSSA's contribution to the completed Barnegat
Bay Data Synthesis Project as well as providing a useful overview
of the Barnegat Bay watershed. The original web products, which
were comprised of digital versions (GIF images) of a CRSSA habitat
loss and alteration poster series, were re-designed to speed
internet download time. Some maps have also been substituted
with more recent versions as well as the addition of an animated
land cover time series map of the watershed.>>

Take
a Habitat Tour
CRSSA has created
educational habitat tours of the Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, region.
By synthesizing geographic information systems (GIS) maps, selected
species lists and ground photography, one can gain an understanding
of the coastal land cover habitats and appreciate the value
of CRSSA's on-going research activities which utilize GIS technology.
