Project Background
Our restoration efforts along the Delaware Bay began immediately following Superstorm Sandy when it was realized that the hurricane caused the loss of nearly 70% of horseshoe crab habitat on the  New Jersey  side of Delaware Bay.  In 2013, a team led by the American Littoral Society and the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey restored just over a mile of damaged horseshoe crab habitat successfully, thus avoiding a natural catastrophe for northbound migrant shorebirds that depend on building weight from horseshoe crab eggs. This habitat restoration work continues and has expanded to include beach restoration, marsh restoration, oyster reefs, and monitoring. 
We are working with a wide range of partners, including federal and state agencies, county and local municipalities, business groups, and private foundations to restore an ecologically healthy and resilient Delaware Bay region.
