MIDDLE TWP., New Jersey -- Just outside Stone Harbor, New Jersey, environmental educator Danielle Meeker taught a group of preschoolers about some of the creatures inside the touch tank at The Wetlands Institute.
Meanwhile, research scientist Brian Williamson was outside checking on diamondback terrapin nests, looking for hatchlings inside the cages placed over the nests that keep predators out. "So things like crabs and snails that will actually feed on the marsh itself; it can damage the marsh over time, and terrapins eat those," said Williams."So they help keep those numbers in check."Williamson showed us one that will be released in July or August and comes from a nest of eggs belonging to a female turtle that was hit by a car.The Wetlands Institute also strives to protect the salt marshes around its 50-year-old building.
In partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the State of New Jersey, the institute has been conducting the Seven Mile Island Innovation Lab since 2019, using mud from the Intracoastal Waterway to preserve the marshes.
