Description

This project is a partnership among U.S. Fish and wildlife SERVICE (SERVICE), pinelands preservation alliance (PPA), and raritan valley community college (RVCC) to advance recovery of the federally listed (THREATENED) plant seabeach amaranth (amaranthus pumilus). The services recovery vision for seabeach amaranth in new jersey is one of hubs and spokes. Hubs are natural areas with population strongholds. This project will establish hubs in south jersey through propagation and outplanting. Spokes are plant protection strips that allow seeds to move around the landscape and connect the hubs. This project will advance spokes by targeting outreach and education for local beach managers responsible for establishment and maintenance of the strips on recreational beaches. The strips are required components of beach management plans, but compliance with the strips has been poor, with much raking and driving that limit the ability of plants to germinate and survive outside of natural areas. Thus, targeted communications with municipal beach managers is necessary for the strips to function as intended. This project would also transition the largest and most consequential plant protection strips, located on state lands, from solely RVCC management to increased state involvement and thus ensure their viability as a long-term recovery activity. The project goal is to advance seabeach amaranth recovery by: (1) establishing new stronghold populations in south jersey (2) conducting targeted outreach and education to local beach managers and (3) increasing the role of state agencies in the management of populations habitats on state lands.
