Abstract

Restoration of 20,000 acres of historic wetlands and contiguous upland boundaries is part of a grand-scale estuary enhancement and recovery program, implemented in New Jersey and Delaware by the Public Service Energy and Gas Company (PSE&G). The project is providing a very positive and refreshing signal from the energy industry that wetlands stewardship and cooperation are alive and well.
