"There's a whole host of species that rely on them," says Executive Director Dr. Lenore Tedesco. "Coastal birds, diamondback terrapins, horseshoe crabs there's just a wealth of wildlife here."
"Since 2019, we have restored about 85 acres of marshes," says Tedesco. The wetlands are crucial to the coastal way of life in New Jersey, providing a barrier against flooding and coastal storms.
"It is one of the best flyways in the world, and the birds funnel through here in both directions during migration... a lot of raptors come through," she says. "The marsh is a remarkable diversity of life here."
