The
Department of Environmental Protection is committed to managing New Jersey's
environment to ensure clean air, clean and plentiful waters, safe and abundant
open space, and an overall high quality of life.
To manage our environment we must be able to measure it. That means using
sound science to assess the current state of our environment, evaluating
the effectiveness of past efforts by looking at historic improvement trends,
developing goals and strategies for future improvement, and forging partnerships
with our constituents to meet our targets. Released
in November 2001, New Jersey's Environment 2000 is the second state of
the environment report for New Jersey. It is one in a series of interrelated
documents that uses environmental indicators to help us provide a comprehensive
look at the state’s environmental quality, achievements as well
as remaining challenges to citizens of New Jersey.
