The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, New Jersey Field Office and Atlantic County welcomed its partners to a dedication ceremony on May 23, 2006 to celebrate the construction and opening of the Great Egg Harbor River Fish Restoration Project. The dedication ceremony was attended by partners, cooperators, interested public, and the media. This unique restoration project was initiated in the spring of 1998 as an idea to provide fish passage throughout the Great Egg Harbor River drainage.
