My name is Rory Hogan, and I am a graduate student at Stockton University’s Coastal Zone Management program. I am reaching out to to find people interested in participating in a study I am conducting on the Delaware Bay. This project involves participating in a modeling workshop that will map your view on how different factors within the Delaware Bay are related to each other. Topics this workshop will cover are ecosystem resiliency, coastal protection, and economic impacts on the Delaware Bay. The modeling workshops will be held over zoom and are anticipated to last upwards of an hour. For this research you may participate as an individual or as a group of members. After your model has been created it will be combined with other stakeholders to create a community wide model of the Delaware Bay. This data will be used to advocate for future ecosystem and coastal protection along the Delaware Bay.
