And so is a wildlife habitat so important that its attraction to migrating birds makes the southern Jersey Cape one of the 10 greatest so-called "birding hot spots” in the world.

And it will enable EPA to hear the citizens’ reaction to the proposed approach, especially concerning specific sites to be excluded from the forthcoming MUA system.
