Project Highlight: New Jersey Wetland Restoration Threatened by Weather, Erosion and Human Impacts

In the late 1990s, upland dikes and drainage systems were installed
as a part of the Estuary Enhancement Program (EEP). The program, to help restore part of the Delaware Estuary, aimed to refortify impacted wetlands and offset ecological impacts from nuclear programs. The EEP has restored, enhanced, and/or preserved more than 20,000 acres of salt marsh and adjacent uplands.
