Description: Conservation Focal Areas are key geographic areas for the conservation of wildlife in New Jersey. These are the portions of the landscape regions that are of particular conservation interest to the Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) and its conservation partners because they have important habitats and species assemblages, and represent the best opportunities for protecting, restoring, and sustaining New Jersey's wildlife diversity. They also include important opportunities for habitat connectivity, a critical factor in increasing resilience in a changing landscape. DFW will use CFAs to further identify geographically-based threats to New Jersey’s wildlife habitats and develop actions that will address those threats. In addition, DFW will regularly review and improve CFA maps as new data become available and as new insights are shared by the public and conservation partners.

Description: New Jersey has many diverse ecological landscapes capable of providing increased protection from coastal storms' heavy rains, storm surges, and flooding. However, these protective ecological areas are threatened by dense coastal development, erosion, and increasing sea levels. Utilizing natural and nature-based ecological solutions, such as but not limited to, living shorelines and marsh restoration strategies provide protection to critical habitat, people and infrastructure. The primary goal of the Ecological Solutions Project Program is to determine successful strategies, lessons learned, and provide adaptive management practices to conceptual, permitted, federal consistancy, and monitored projects along New Jersey's coastlines. The Ecological Solutions Project Program is an online, interactive mapping application that provides the locations of these projects in various phases, with links to supporting project information.
