Abstract
The New Jersey Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program (CCMP) is in the Department of Environmental Protection’s Water Monitoring and Standards program. Agencies that participate in the
CCMP perform sanitary surveys of beach areas and monitor concentrations of bacteria in nearshore
coastal and estuarine waters to assess the acceptability of these waters for recreational bathing. These activities and the resulting data are used to respond to immediate public health concerns associated with
recreational water quality and to eliminate the sources of fecal contamination that impact coastal waters.
