S 289 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates and preserves Caven Point Peninsula in Liberty State Park as natural habitat.

This bill designates and permanently preserves the 21.5-acre Caven Point Peninsula within Liberty State Park in Jersey City as natural habitat. It specifically protects the peninsula’s estuarine ecosystem, critical bird breeding grounds, and urban environmental education resource. The legislation overrides conflicting laws to ensure the area - identified on Hudson County tax maps - remains preserved for wildlife and public education. The bill directly affects this specific coastal habitat by prohibiting development or alteration that would disrupt its ecological function.
