website,
"The JC
NERR encompasses approximately 115,000 acres in southeastern
New Jersey, including a great variety of terrestrial, wetland and
aquatic habitats within the
Mullica River-Great Bay ecosystem. The
Reserve is a concentrated patchwork of federal and state lands managed
in partnership through a variety of agencies. With little more than 1%
of the Reserve subjected to human development, this area is regarded as
one of the least disturbed estuaries in the densely populated urban
corridor of the Northeastern United States. Occurring within the unique
New Jersey Pinelands forest ecosystem, on the coastal plain and the
barrier islands of the coastal margin, the Mullica River-Great Bay
estuary is of special ecological value. The high environmental quality
of the habitats within the Cousteau Reserve are consistent with the
objective of the Reserve system to preserve areas which retain a healthy
ecosystem and provide the opportunity to serve the needs of long-term
research and monitoring programs."
