MRRI scientists have kicked off the field season by deploying the first of six sediment traps at Anderson Creek Marsh (Secaucus, NJ). A complex cluster of sensors, designed to monitor the mass of sediment carried
At the Delaware Estuary Science and Environmental Summit on February 11, 2024, MRRI’s senior environmental scientist Joe Grzyb presented the marsh sediment elevation data from the Meadowlands District. MRRI is part of the New Jersey
NJSEA hosted the Harbor Herons annual meeting on January 24, 2025, which was attended by 40 people in person and 40 virtually. The Harbor Herons Work Group is a subcommittee to the NY&NJ Harbor &
MRRI Scientists are leveraging 3D printing technology to enhance field-deployed sensing equipment by producing custom parts. This innovative approach allows researchers to design and print lightweight, durable components tailored to specific sensor configurations. By reducing
Two MRRI staff members have recently obtained their Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV) licenses, also known as a “Six-Pack” license. This credential, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard, required them to pass rigorous exams
MRRI scientists attended Restore America’s Estuaries 2024 Coastal & Estuarine Summit in Arlington, VA, October 6-11, 2024. The five day summit brought together national and international experts on tidal and coastal wetland restoration. Amidst a
The New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority (NJSEA) has upgraded the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) system to the latest technology for the Meadowlands Research & Restoration Institute (MRRI) laboratory. From July 8-10, 2024,
A recent study funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) aims to understand mineral formation in the oxygen-depleted sediments of the Hackensack estuary. The recently approved NSF proposal (worth $551,795) focuses on the concept of
The 2023 water quality data collected in the Meadowlands Lower Hackensack Estuary has been checked with QA/QC procedures and shared with US EPA through national Water Quality Exchange (WQX). The Meadowlands Research & Restoration Institute
The Environmental Protection Agency is relying on MRRI and a two-year grant to determine how contaminants move between the marshes and main stem of the river at selected microbasins in the lower Hackensack River. The
On May 29th, four seniors from Bergen County Academies (BCA) – Miriam Inba, Arda Sensoz, Julianna Nunez, and Shlok Jhaveri – concluded their 2024 Senior Experience Internship at MRRI. Throughout the school year, these interns
This past week MRRI scientists joined Restore America’s Estuaries’ Blue Carbon Working Group in Washington DC to discuss current legislation and restoration initiatives aimed to preserve and enhance blue carbon repositories of the coastal US.
