Abstract
The New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail Route is a vehicular tourism route that is being developed to provide for public understanding and appreciation of significant natural and cultural sites associated with the coastal areas of New Jersey. Authorized by federal legislation in 1988, the Trail is a public/private partnership involving the National Park Service, state of New Jersey, units of local government, and public and private entities. The Trail region extends along nearly 300 miles of coastline. Trail themes will include Maritime History (the initial demonstration theme), Coastal Communities, Recreation and Inspiration, Wildlife Migration, and Coastal Habitats. This paper reviews the history and development of the Trail as a model for partnership efforts in managing and interpreting natural and cultural resources.
