Did You Know?
In the fourth year of a five-year, National Science Foundation-funded study to determine the behavior of the effluent, nutrients, and contaminants in New Jersey’s coastal waters, researchers at Rutgers’ Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences have continued to expand their knowledge of the Hudson River plume that travels through New York Harbor to the New Jersey shore. In May 2006, researchers released a nontoxic red dye near Sea Bright and tracked it as it traveled along the coastlines of such District 11 towns as Asbury Park, Belmar, Bradley Beach, Deal, Long Branch, Ocean Grove, and Spring Lake. Using radar, satellite tracking, and remotely controlled underwater gliders, scientists gathered data along the plume’s path. The information researchers collect will inform New York’s future sewage disposal plans and New Jersey’s chances for a cleaner coastline. The project, which will enter its final year in March 2007, has an extensive website (http://marine.rutgers.edu/cool/latte/latte2006.htm) with information for the scientific community and the general public.
