2018 – SHPOA created a demonstration rain garden on 95th St. The focus is sustainability and drought-resistant plantings.
2017 – Real-time monitoring of flood events in Stone Harbor, In a cooperative effort with Stockton University CRC, Stone Harbor, and SHPOA, water level sensors were installed in flood-prone areas of Stone Harbor.
2016 – SHPOA worked with the Borough to identify where more efficient irrigation equipment and water tolerant plantings can be tested, evaluated, and, when warranted, applied to reduce water usage for irrigation. One of the objectives of the Project is to educate island homeowners about what is available to reduce their water consumption. SHPOA also funded the creation of the “Stone Harbor” signs as you enter town from the south, north, and east.
