Why, to the average person, or below average in my case, why is this so important, Steve?

The connection, the location of this facility, the connection between the near coastal environment, right? What you see when you walk up to the beach and the ocean and the conditions that you see there and our estuaries, our back bays, right? That connection between those two systems is critical for larval transport of fin fishes that our tourists wanna catch and recreational commercial fisheries, water quality, public health, related to water quality, sediment transport.

Where does your sand go when it's put up on the beach? How does it get on the beach or into the bays? How does it affect fisheries? So that's a really important piece.

Another really important piece of this project is it's tied to education and our Stockton and Rutgers' ability to roll this program into their teaching and research is going to give our students, undergrads, grads, Ph.D. candidates, all and other stakeholders throughout New Jersey, an opportunity to have workforce development, learn skills that are important for the blue economy.

that are important for our coastal resilience.

You mentioned, quote unquote,

Talk about that, Steve.

So, yeah, there's competition between our schools, right? Of course there is.
