New York-New Jersey Coast Suffering from Sprawling Development
- "Much of the progress made in cleaning up the waters in the New York-New Jersey harbor area are now imperiled by widespread pollution and unchecked coastal development, according to a report released today by a leading environmental group. The study, entitled Cape May To Montauk: A Coastal Protection Report Card, is the result of three years of investigation and analysis by NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council). The report grades 169 localities and a half-dozen state and federal agencies for their effectiveness at controlling pollution and managing coastal sprawl." - Excerpt from Natural Resources Defense Council press release at http://www.nrdc.org/media/pressReleases/021203.asp
