Redesigned S. Cape Meadows Protects Communities, Boosts Eco-Tourism
State and local representatives and agency experts showed how new coastal systems protect communities from erosion, sea-level rise, and storm surge at South Cape May Meadows Preserve on Sept. 13.
Now celebrating its 10 year restoration anniversary, the two-phase, $15 million project began in September 2004. Phase one restored the wetlands and dunes, and Phase two included installation of a gate system that allows draining or filling of the freshwater marsh in preparation for storms or to benefit wildlife. Construction was completed in the spring of 2007. The 200-acre preserve, known for birding, is managed by The Nature Conservancy.
It's estimated that $313 million annually is brought into the county by birders who visit other sites, stay in hotels, motels, and other places, and eat at nearby restaurants, according to Patricia Doerr, director of Coastal and Marine Projects, The Nature Conservancy New Jersey Chapter.
The Conservancy’s 2014 analysis of the economic and social benefits of the restoration showed that at South Cape May Meadows, the average flood damage per storm before the restoration was $143,713. After the restoration, flood damage decreased to $3,713 per storm.

Sunset Beach is a beach located near Cape May Point, along the Delaware Bay, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is a local tourist attraction, in part due to its proximity to the SS Atlantus (locally known as the Concrete Ship) and the Cape May Light. It known for a flag raising-lowering ceremony which takes places every morning and evening from May through September. All the flags flown in the ceremony are flags from the caskets of veterans. The ceremony has been taking place on Sunset beach since 1973. Other attractions include Cape May diamonds, clear quartz crystals that can be easily found along the beach's length, and summer fireworks.

Superstorm Sandy and Home Protection
Five years ago, Superstorm Sandy ravaged the coastlines of New Jersey and New York. Many areas of Long Beach Island in New Jersey experienced extensive damage due to low sand dunes and beaches in need of replenishment. Further south, the beach replenishment and dune and wetland restoration at the Conservancy's South Cape May Meadows Preserve helped protect homes from the worst impacts of the storms. Homeowners from Cape May Point and Long Beach Island share their stories.

Sunset at Cape May Point's Sunset Beach 5/20/17
On the evening of my last full day in Wildwood Crest, I set out with my dad to Cape May Point to see the sun setting at Sunset Beach. There was a lot of cloud cover this evening, which had me concerned that I wouldn't be able to see anything. Fortunately, there were enough gaps in the clouds that I was able to see most of the sunset. During my time at the beach, I was also able to see the Cape May-Lewes Ferry making its way toward the Cape May Terminal, as well as the remains of the S.S. Atlantus. Finally, a windmill was visible to the south across the Delaware Bay.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Cape May National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area on the Cape May Peninsula in Cape May County, New Jersey. It is part of the National Wildlife Refuge System and managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Established in January 1989 with 90 acres (0.36 km2) acquired from the Nature Conservancy, it has since grown to more than 11,000 acres (45 km2) in size, and plans call for its further expansion to more than 21,200 acres (86 km2). It comprises three distinct and disjunct units: the Delaware Bay Division, the Great Cedar Swamp Division, and the Two Mile Beach Unit. Located in the Middle Atlantic coastal forests ecoregion, the cape provides habitat for large numbers of migratory birds.

Troy Meadows Wetland & Forest Enhancement
Troy Meadows, NJ
Wetland and Forest Enhancement
Wildlife Preserves, Inc.
info@wildlifepreserves.org
Troy Meadows is a US National Natural Landmark located in the central Passaic basin, in northern New Jersey. It is primarily owned by a private, nonprofit organization—
Wildlife Preserves, Inc. —and managed as a natural area and wildlife sanctuary.
Troy Meadows is a mix of meadows, fields, and forests containing a variety of common and endangered plant and animal communities and many biological features, ponds and vernal breeding pools. It is part of the Atlantic flyway and serves as a staging area for migratory waterfowl. It is an exceptional resource for many species of fauna and flora and contains a dense population of avian and amphibian species, a particular haven for frogs, salamanders, and marsh birds.
Troy Meadows was once rated the “highest quality inland wetland in the State of New Jersey” by the US Department of Interior (published in its 1954 nationwide inventory of wetlands resources) but has since been degraded by encroaching suburban development, water and silt pollution, and invasive species of plants that are taking over its once native, natural habitat.
Wildlife Preserves is on an aggressive campaign to remove invasive species of plants from the meadows and woodlands at the north-end of Troy Meadows in an effort to enhance the freshwater marsh, forests, and wildlife habitat here. The project also includes installing deer exclusion fencing around some of the woodland areas, and replanting the meadows and woods with native plants species.
All the invasive species—from phragmites–reed grass, Japanese barberry, to stilt grass—have been located, mapped, and are being eradicated.
Studies have shown that the dense stands of reed grass have raised the elevation of the soil beneath the marsh by several feet, displacing the water that was once so prevalent and important for marsh and migratory birds at Troy Meadows. In forest areas, barberry bushes and stilt grass fill the land and smother the seed-bearing flora that provides food, shelter, and habitat for indigenous fauna.
All these invasive plants have created an imbalance in the ecosystem and this is the blight that many environmental organizations and individuals are attempting to heal.
The Troy Meadows project is a five to twenty-year plan that includes the establishment of a wetland mitigation bank, deed restricting the mitigation area in perpetuity, eradicating all the invasive plants species, replacing them with native species, and restoring the meadows to its previous pristine condition.
