1 National Estuary Program Activities in the Barnegat Bay Jim Vasslides Barnegat Bay Partnership Ocean County College Toms River, New Jersey
2 The Barnegat Bay NEP 1987: Barnegat Bay Study Act (Chapter 387) require a study of the nature and impacts that extensive development was causing on the bay 1995: USEPA approves State s nomination to establish the BBNEP 2002: BBNEP Management plan (CCMP) Action plans: Water Quality and Water Supply; Habitat and Living Resources; Human Activities and Competing Uses; Public Participation and Education 2008: BBNEP Strategic Plan
3 Strategic Plan Environmental Priorities Reduce eutrophication & improve water quality. Address water supply & flow issues. Prevent habitat loss & support habitat restoration. Address fisheries declines.
4 Reduce eutrophication Eutrophication: an enhanced rate of biological production (usually due to excessive nutrient inputs, nitrogen and phosphorus). Photo courtesy of Rutgers University
5 Reduce eutrophication & improve water quality BBNEP/BBP-funded water quality projects USGS (7): water quality and nutrient assessment stream and well data, N-loading estimates Rutgers (3): water quality monitoring and/or stormwater projects MU-UCI/others (2): bacterial-source tracking
6 Improve water quality Silver Bay BST Study Study estimated nutrient loadings from a landscape model and assessed antibiotic resistance in coliform bacteria to identify pollutant sources at 10 sites Undeveloped sites (e.g., near Cattus Island) had low nutrient inputs; 6 sites exhibited development signatures (i.e., high human and/or pet bacterial types. Additional work necessary to explicitly identify sources (e.g., failed septic system or damaged sewer line, etc.) and needed management actions; Regional WQMP Tiedemann et al., 2007; BEI and MU-UCI, 2007.
7 Improve water quality Long Swamp Creek Study Delineated 4 major sub-watersheds based on existing land use patterns, stormwater problems, and physical characteristics. Detailed a list of priority action items for future restoration work, many of which have been subsequently undertaken, including: Riparian and wetland revegetation on the OCVTS campus in the headwater area; BMP operation and maintenance at the Bay Lea Golf Course to restore vegetated buffers and reduce goose herbivory
8 Improve water quality An analysis of pollution reduction capability of existing BMPs located in the TR sub-watershed of BB (American Littoral Society) Evaluate the nutrient reduction and recharge performance capabilities of exiting stormwater basins and identify inadequately functioning basins that could potentially be upgraded and retrofitted to improve their nutrient removal capabilities
9 Strategic Plan Environmental Priorities Reduce eutrophication & improve water quality. Address water supply & flow issues. Prevent habitat loss & support habitat restoration. Address fisheries declines.
10 Water Supply/Flow Metedeconk River Watershed Protection & Restoration Plan Over-riding goal: to preserve the Metedeconk River as a viable water supply source for the region, protect the health of the Barnegat Bay Estuary, eliminate water quality impairments and attain compliance with the surface water quality standards throughout the watershed Task 2: Visual Assessment Project Plan (VAPP) Visual inspection of the stream (82 sites) Identify potential problem areas and possible mitigation areas Task 3: Technical Analysis Build upon existing data and recent reports
11 Strategic Plan Environmental Priorities Reduce eutrophication & improve water quality. Address water supply & flow issues. Prevent habitat loss & support habitat restoration. Address fisheries declines.
12 Habitat Alteration Effects The impact of artificial shorelines on species diversity, secondary production and habitat quality in Barnegat Bay >36% of the natural shoreline in Barnegat Bay has been bulkheaded Faunal communities along bulkheads differed from those of natural shorelines. are not as biologically rich as in natural shoreline habitats and may function differently; the nursery role of these areas appears altered.
13 Habitat Alteration Effects Mid-Atlantic Coastal Wetland Assessment Program (MACWAP) Utilize USEPA three-tier wetlands monitoring guidance Establish a network of fixed monitoring stations (SET and WQ) over a range of marsh types, conditions and stressors. Conduct intensive geomorphology, biota and WQ (Tier 3) monitoring Test Rapid Assessment Methodologies (RAM)
14 Strategic Plan Environmental Priorities Reduce eutrophication & improve water quality. Address water supply & flow issues. Prevent habitat loss & support habitat restoration. Address fisheries declines.
15 Fisheries Declines Assessing Population Structure, Reproductive Potential and Fishing Efforts for Blue Crab in Barnegat Bay (Dr. Paul Jivoff, Rider; ) Assessing Population Structure, Reproductive Potential and Movement of adult Blue Crab in BB (Dr. Paul Jivoff, Rider; ) Fecundity of BB Blue Crab: the influence of size, seasons and relative fishing efforts (Dr. Paul Jivoff, Rider; )
16 Fisheries Declines Assessment of Sea Nettle Polyps in BB (Dr. Paul Bologna, Montclair; ) Status and Trends of Shellfish Populations in BB (Dr. Monica Bricelj, Rutgers; ) American Eel Passage on Existing Dams (Dr. Ken Able, Rutgers; )
17 What s s next? Comprehensive Water Quality Monitoring Bay-wide continuous water quality monitoring Targeted Watershed Studies Nutrient sources and distribution, nutrient load models, estuary circulation model Water Supply / Flow Tertiary treatment assessment Biotic Monitoring and Assessment Fish, crabs, jellyfish, shellfish, benthic invertebrates, SAV Land Use Assessment and Restoration Soil health assessment and restoration, shoreline stabilization

19 Barnegat Bay Development Urbanization: the major watershed stressor Current development is > 30%; a widely recognized tipping point for losing biodiversity, ecological functioning, and resources. Urbanization alters the patterns, quantities, and quality of surface and groundwater flows; increases nutrients and contaminant loads; and causes habitat loss, fragmentation, and alterations.
20 The Bay & its Watershed Physiography Bay = 75 sq-miles Bay mean depth = 5 ft Watershed = 660 sq-miles Hydrology Lagoon: little fw surface flow, < 3% of the tidal prism Tidal prism variable, unequal Tides: 3-5 ft; semidiurnal but variable (lunar, weather) Long, poorly known turnover time (27-71 days); SLR effects Guo et al., 1997; Chant, 2001; Kennish, 2001
21 Address water supplies/flows Better public recognition of: 1) limited local water supplies, 2) the need to conserve and reuse water. Better understanding of the effects of altered flows: 1) groundwater withdrawals, 2) offshore sewage effluent diversions, 3) dams/reservoirs, and 4) Oyster Creek NGS.
