Gas emissions are prompting flooding around New Jersey, according to a report by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Rutgers.
NEPTUNE, N.J. — Human-made gas emissions are speeding up sea level rise around New Jersey and, in tandem with coastal storms, will cause more frequent flooding for decades to come, according to a new report by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Rutgers University.
Rutgers scientists behind the report, released Thursday, said their work aims to help New Jersey communities prepare for changing coastal conditions and more precipitation. "Sea level is rising more in New Jersey and the mid-Atlantic than in other parts of the globe," said Jeanne Herb, executive director of environmental analysis at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning & Public Policy at Rutgers."New Jersey's sort of ground zero."
New Jersey will experience "a tremendous impact from climate change on our economy, on our residents, on our communities," she said.According to projections by Rutgers available on NJFloodMapper.org, a 1-foot increase in sea level would submerge portions of Cattus Island County Park in Toms River, affect some low lying bayfront sections of Brick and Toms River, and begin to drown protective marshland on the mainland side of Ocean County.
