The Tidelands claims line for New Jersey depicts natural waterways now or formerly tide-flowed at mean high water. Since the mean high water line may change because of rises in sea level, the line does not represent the current mean high water line. Rather it depicts the mean high water line at the time of mapping and the historic mean high water line predating artificial alterations. Note: Users of this combined statewide tidelands layer are cautioned that this layer is to be used as a reference layer only. Only the actual promulgated tidelands maps, at the production scale of 1:2400, can be used to locate the legally valid tidelands riparian claim line. |
