NEW JERSEY WATERSHED AMBASSADORS PROGRAM
Watershed Management Area 19
Rancocas

Hello everyone! My name is Peter Gotta and I am currently serving as an Americorps Watershed Ambassador for 2008-2009. My Watershed Management Area is Area 19 (WMA 19), otherwise known as the Rancocas Watershed. I am so excited to be stationed in the Pinelands Preservation Alliance and Rancocas Conservancy in Southampton right off of Route 206. What a wonderful place to come to work to everyday!

The Pinelands Preservation Alliance and Rancocas Conservancy are intertwined in preserving and protecting the natural resources of the area. They also do a lot for the Rancocas Watershed as a whole. I am glad they have opened their doors to me and permit me work out of a building with such a beautiful location to serve the 360 square mile watershed area.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a recent graduate of The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey with a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Studies. I was raised in New Jersey and am an avid freshwater fisherman and love being outdoors. If I am not outside fishing I am probably taking pictures of wildlife or plants. I have taken classes from many great and insightful professors at Stockton and I hope to use the knowledge and skills they have given me to help preserve our environment.

As a Watershed Ambassador, I vow to educate the community about all things water. I am here to help and serve YOU. Please, take advantage of me! I would love to give presentations on watershed issues such as point and nonpoint source pollution, or watershed management practices at a community event or school. Remember, I am a free resource here for you and your community or organization to utilize. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to schedule a training or presentation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
