1 Restoring the New York New Jersey Harbor Estuary: Ensuring Ecosystem Resilience and Sustainability in a Changing Environment Appendix A: Full list of habitat restoration, acquisition, and public access projects completed The following table lists projects completed from referenced in Restoring the New York New Jersey Harbor Estuary: Ensuring Ecosystem Resilience in a Changing Environment (2015). These projects contributed toward Hudson-Raritan Estuary Comprehensive Plan goals, as indicated below. Information about these projects is sourced from reports to the program from its partners, Alderson and Bowers (2012), and other public accounts. 1 For more information about how progress is tracked, see While this is the most comprehensive list of restoration projects available, it may not be complete due to the many entities involved in habitat restoration, public access, and acquisition throughout the region. If you are aware of a project that is not on this list and should be, or if there is inaccurate information presented, please contact habitat@harborestuary.org and we will update our records and reflect these additions in the next report.

7 Additional notes Year refers to year the project was considered complete. Under, acreage is listed for only the Target Ecosystem s (TECs) which have acreage goals, with the exception of Acquisition. The acreage associated with Acquisition as well as Public Access TECs is the Total acreage unless otherwise noted in the TEC column. Progress toward the following s are counted by project or river miles, rather than total acreage: Public Access; Shorelines and Shallows; Enclosed and Confined Waters; Tributary Connections; Habitat for Waterbirds; Eelgrass Beds; and Habitat for Fish, Crab, and Lobsters.
