New Jersey’s Atlantic County Coastal Region (ACCR) back bay tidal marshes provide vital ecosystem services that buffer the surrounding communities and infrastructure from storm surge damage, reduce coastal erosion, help support the local ecotourism and the fishing industries, and contribute to the stability of the infrastructure and natural resources of the region. With changing climate conditions, these back bay marshes will be subject to prolonged inundation, erosion, and loss from sea level rise, which in turn will diminish the benefits they can provide and result in the eventual loss of critical ecosystem services. Through this study with another consultant and NJDEP we identified about 15 different locations in the Atlantic County region that could have the beneficial reuse of dredge material in order to restore about 300 acres of tidal marsh and in turn create 30,000 linear feet of living shorelines
