	NYC Regional Geology
		Arthur Kill is an abandoned river channel carved by an ancestral phase of the Hudson River resulting from the blockage of the main channel at the Verrazano Narrows by moraine or ice.
		This is an indication that the Raritan was perhaps the major drainage channel along the ice front throughout the Wisconsin glaciation (Stages 1,2,3, and 4).
		Raritan mud is accumulating in portions of the bay at a rate of about 0.75 inches per year (see Mackenzie, Jr., 1992; Bokuneicicz, 1988).

	Fly Fishing New Jersey's South Branch of the Raritan River
		The South Branch of the Raritan, in Northwestern New Jersey, is an outstanding river with good hatches and an abundance of good-sized trout.
		Flowing from Bud Lake, the river stretches for more than 40 miles to the town of South Branch, where it meets the North Branch of the Raritan.
		For a New Jersey river, hatches on the South Branch of the Raritan are outstanding, and they offer great dry-fly fishing in its fabulous pools and pocket water.

	Raritan Bay - Sandy Hook Bay Complex
		Raritan and Sandy Hook Bays are divided between the states of New Jersey and New York, and receive direct inflow from the Raritan River, the Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers, and numerous smaller tributaries along the shorelines of Staten Island and New Jersey.
		Though the majority of the Raritan River watershed drains from the Piedmont physiographic province, the Raritan and Sandy Hook Bays and their shorelines are located on the gravels, sands, and clays of the Coastal Plain physiographic province.
		Further to the west at the Raritan River mouth, egrets and ibis are often seen foraging, probably representative birds from the Harbor Herons Complex on the Arthur Kill (see narrative).

	SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR THE LAST GLACIAL MAXIMUM AND POST-GLACIAL SEA-LEVEL RISE, RARITAN BAY, N (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The relationship of the "recent" sediments and the older coastal plain deposits based on the stratigraphy of the Raritan Bay (especially the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer) is crucial in determining the degree of hydraulic interconnection and creating groundwater flow models for the Raritan Bay vicinity.
		Two paleochannels are documented: a west to east incised channel originating from the modern Raritan River drainage and second one that is oriented NW to SE carrying discharge from the vicinity of Staten Island.
		The recognition of an incised channel filled with glacial outwash (sands and gravels) in close proximity to the southern shoreline of Raritan Bay (and the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer) is significant for future studies of hydraulic interconnection.

	The Raritan River Ferry
		At New Brunswick, the river leaves the Piedmont between the steep slopes of the last hills, formed millions of years ago, when Europe separated from the North-American continent.
		From there on, the gray-blue Raritan flows east through the sedimentary plain towards the Atlantic, gaining in width, winding in gentle curves, framed by an increasingly broad belt of swamp grasses, tender and green in spring, golden and brown in fall.
		As it moved around a bend of the river, I suddenly saw a large boat in the moonlight in front of me. It was painted yellow.
