| Economy / Eco-TourismTourism in New Jersey’s coastal counties contributes $16 billion to the state’s economy and provides thousands of jobs. Despite this economic value, pollution continues to force closures of the Raritan and Delaware Bays for beach use and shellfish harvesting. It is clearly in the state’s economic interest to continue to improve the quality of its beaches and coastal waters. While there has been some increase in coastal water quality over the past 25 years, more needs to be done in order to make New Jersey’s shore and bays consistently a first-rate public resource. |
