Monmouth Coastal Watersheds Poster – Brochure

A free, full-color poster-brochure about the Monmouth Coastal Watersheds area has been created and is available to residents in Monmouth, Middlesex and Ocean Counties.

“We realized that many residents are not aware of what a watershed is, and do not know the watershed in which they reside,” said Ines Grimm, a member of Monmouth Coastal Watersheds Partnership Public Education and Outreach Committee. “This poster-brochure will be a useful tool in acquainting residents with the watershed process.”

The Monmouth Coastal Watersheds Partnership (Area 12) is comprised of 6 coastal subwatersheds – Bayshore, North Coast, Navesink, Mid-Coast, South Coast and Manasquan – all or a portion of which fall into 55 municipalities from as far north as South Amboy and as far south as Point Pleasant.

Each of the 6 subwatersheds are briefly profiled in the brochure and are highlighted with several color photos of locations within each watershed. Each section contains:

• Features of the watershed
• Rivers, streams & waterways
• Environmental issues
• A map
• Contact names & numbers

Funds for this publication were provided by NJDEP – Division of Watershed Management – in cooperation with the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Matching funds were provided by Freehold SCD and Monmouth County Water Resources Association.
