In a series of flyovers of the Jersey shoreline and coastal areas this summer, photos were taken by the Northeast Region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Most of this surveying is still in response to the effects of Superstorm Sandy in October 2012.
The Northeast Region includes Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Delaware, and Virginia.
