Little Egg Harbor Township: Rutgers University Marine Field Station
Rutgers University Marine Field Station has served as a marine research and education center in New Jersey’s Great Bay since 1972. The station occupies a low-lying shore of the Great Bay–Mullica River estuary, where salt marshes and tidal channels meet waters leading to Little Egg Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. Its laboratories, docks and small fleet support fieldwork on coastal processes and marine life, placing science alongside the practical maritime activity of the bay. Nearby Tuckerton has longstanding associations with baymen, fishing and boatbuilding; the Tuckerton Seaport museum preserves this regional maritime heritage. These marshes form a transition between inland waters and the open coast.

Little Egg Harbor Township lies along the tidal waters of Little Egg Harbor on New Jersey’s Atlantic coast, where broad salt marshes meet pine-oak woodland on the coastal plain. In southern Ocean County, its low-lying mainland faces the protected bays behind the barrier islands rather than the open Atlantic. The township forms part of the wider New Jersey Pinelands region, a protected expanse of forests, wetlands and sandy soils. Boating, fishing and shellfishing remain central to the shore’s identity, reflecting traditions shared with nearby Tuckerton, a long-established bay community.

New Jersey stretches from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean, encompassing coastal lowlands, Pine Barrens woodland, and densely settled northern corridors. The Atlantic shore is known as the Jersey Shore, while the Delaware Water Gap cuts between the river and Appalachian ridges in the northwest. Trenton, the state capital, was the scene of a pivotal American Revolutionary War victory in 1776. Atlantic City’s Boardwalk, opened in 1870, remains a landmark of the state’s long seaside-entertainment tradition.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
