Appropriate vs. Inappropriate
Estuary / Watershed Development

Our waterfronts have long been inappropriately used as sites for polluting factories, leaky landfills, and unregulated junkyards - and more recently, for residential and commercial developments that fail to take the environment fully into consideration. Baykeeper seeks to prevent, modify, or remediate development that will damage wetlands and other sensitive ecosystems. A major example is our successful campaign against the construction of the massive Mills Mall development on wetlands in the Hackensack Meadowlands.
