Jacques Cousteau Reserve, New Jersey

Partners and Supporters

The mission of the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve is to improve management of important estuarine resources in the Mullica River-Great Bay watershed.

The Jacques Cousteau Reserve provides research and education opportunities and practical information for coastal decision-makers to improve the management of land and other natural resources. Properties within the reserve are entirely in public ownership by various state and federal entities, and their protected status serves as an excellent site to provide a long-term database for valuable management of coastal resources.
