WildNewJersey.tv this week released "The Raritan: New Jersey's Queen of Rivers," an 8-minute documentary on the incredible story of the longest river solely in New Jersey.  The Raritan's recovery over the past two decades, spurred in large part by the determined actions of environmental organizations like Edison Wetlands Association and NY-NJ Baykeeper, has brought about a thriving fish population and the return of species such as bald eagle, osprey, American bittern, beaver, and harbor seals to the river and its tributaries.

 

The documentary, produced and hosted by David Wheeler and edited by Melanie Worob, includes interviews with many of the key players on the Lower Raritan River, including Woodbridge Mayor John McCormac, EWA's Robert Spiegel, Baykeeper's Debbie Mans and Greg Remaud, Raritan Riverkeeper Bill Schultz, Bayshore Recycling's Valerie Montecalvo, and representatives from New Jersey WaterWatch and Rutgers University.
