Welcome to the New Jersey Bay Islands Restoration Planner – a
decision-support tool for managing NJ’s bay islands from
Metedeconk River south to Beach Haven / Little Egg Inlet.
This tool allows you, the user, to select (filter) islands based
on restoration need (ISLAND CONDITION) and helps you plan an
ecological restoration project (PROJECT PLANNING).
