Abstract |
The report reviews the water pollution problem in the New Jersey Coastal Region, which extends from Sandy Hook to Cape May and includes those streams draining eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, the various bays and harbors, and the immediate Coastal waters. The Region lies entierly within the State of New Jersey. The discharge of waste from municipalities and numerous other sources degrades water quality and prevents full utilization of this natural resource throughout the Region. The purpose of this report is to delineate those actions which should be undertaken immediately to prevent further degradation of these waters. |
