Resource Management, National Ocean
Service, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
U.S. Department of Commerce has
approved the Jacques Cousteau National
Estuarine Research Reserve
Management Plan Revision.
The Jacques Cousteau National
Estuarine Research Reserve consists of
public lands within the Mullica RiverGreat Bay watershed of New Jersey and
managed by a variety of local, state, and
federal agencies. The site was
designated as the Jacques Cousteau
National Estuarine Research Reserve in
1998 pursuant to Section 315 of the
Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972,
as amended, 16 U.S.C. 1461. The reserve
has been operating in partnership with
the Institute of Marine and Coastal
Sciences of Rutgers, the State University
of New Jersey under a management plan
approved in 1997. Pursuant to 15 CFR
Section 921.33(c), a state must revise
their management plan every five years.
The submission of this plan fulfills this
requirement and sets a course for
successful implementation of the goals
and objectives of the reserve. A
boundary expansion and land
conservation initiative, new facilities,
and updated programmatic objectives
are notable revisions to the 1997
approved management plan.
The revised management plan
outlines the administrative structure;
the research, coastal training, education
and outreach, and stewardship goals of
the reserve; and the plans for future
land acquisition and facility
development to support reserve
operations. This management plan
describes how the reserve will focus on
three key coastal management issues:
Nutrient inputs into coastal waters;
human alteration of habitat and water
quality; and effects of climate change on
coastal and estuarine systems.
Since 1997, the reserve has completed
a site profile that characterizes the
reserve; they have also expanded the
coastal training, research and
monitoring, stewardship and education
programs significantly. A new
administrative building, the Jacques
Cousteau Coastal Center, and a new
interpretive exhibit, ‘‘Life on the Edge’’
at the Tuckerton Seaport, have been
built to support the growth of reserve
programs.
With the approval of this management
plan, the Jacques Cousteau National
Estuarine Research Reserve will expand
their total acreage from 114,665 acres to
114,873 acres. Pursuant to 15 CFR
921.33(a), a boundary change requires
public comment. NOAA announced a
thirty day public comment period in the
Federal Register on November 4, 2009.

The reserve announced a thirty day
public comment period in the Asbury
Park Press on October 16, 2009. No
comments were received. This change is
attributable to the acquisition of four
parcels within the Mullica River
watershed through a partnership with
New Jersey Conservation Foundation.
The acquisition of Bear Creek Preserve
(100 acres), Hanselman Preserve (57
acres), Rudolph Property (31 acres), and
Lee Property (20 acres) provides
additional buffer areas (mixed pitch
pine-scrub oak upland, Atlantic white
cedar forest) for key land and water
areas (salt marsh flats, tidal wetlands).
