Project Description: The NPS Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN) monitoring program has created a fully developed protocol for tracking shoreline position in parks with GPS technology and for monitoring the evolution of the coastal topography. The project addresses the need to maintain data gathering in the units of the Gateway National Recreation Area and to continue to work with other NCBN parks to develop reports and documentation of their coastal shoreline change monitoring data. Rutgers’ scientists will also assist the NCBN in revising their long-term monitoring protocol for coastal shoreline change, used in NPS coastal units.
This project also addresses public purpose in accordance with the promotion, facilitation, and/or improvement of the public’s understanding of natural, cultural, historic, recreational and other aspects of areas such as ecological conservation areas, and state and local parks.
