In 2024, New Jersey began restoring a 290-acre marsh and former industrial site

Cape May County has launched an ambitious restoration project aimed at revitalizing its local ecosystem. By focusing on rejuvenating tidal flow and creating new wildlife habitats, the area is already witnessing the return of various aquatic prey and bird species. The initiative also includes protective measures for freshwater ecosystems, promoting a balanced environment while enhancing public access with newly built trails and recreational facilities.
