DescriptionThe concern of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJEDP) about events in the coastal environment during the summer of 1987, as well as its commitment to maintaining and improving the coastal waters of the state, resulted in a request for the formation of a "Blue Ribbon Panel on Ocean Incidents - 1987." The mission of the panel was to review the events of the last summer in the context of the larger issues of coastal development, water quality, and Marine resources. The panel was asked to recommend priorities to deal with these issues and suggest strategies and options that could help the state set a more positive course in order to anticipate, avoid, and respond to problems in the coastal zone of New Jersey.
NoteThe Division of Science and Research of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection assisted in the production of this report.
NotePurpose: To review the events of the New Jersey coastal zone during the summer of 1987 in the context of the larger issues of coastal development, water quality, and marine resources.
