Presentation: The Two Rivers, a Historical Review

Presentation: The Two Rivers, a Historical Review Through the Lens of Marine Biology by Richard Kane

The Navesink River, Shrewsbury River, and Sandy Hook Bay have been the sites of fascinating historical events. Still, only a little research has been done on the history of these estuaries themselves. Richard will be examining these estuaries, from the last glacial maximum to the modern day, through the lens of physical oceanography, marine biology, and fisheries management.

Using these broad historical trends and modern environmental science, he will be identifying the most pressing threats to our estuaries and discussing their future.
