Located in southern New Jersey (US),
Cumberland County stretches between Salem and
Cape May Counties, surrounding the Delaware
Bay for 65 miles of sal t marshes and estuary,
where freshwater merges with sal twater t ides.
In the center of what was once named the oyster
capital of the world l ies Bivalve, where by the late
19th century, over 80 railcars would be full and
ready to be shipped every week, making the
oysters the largest f ishery product in the Country.
In 1957, a disease named MSX col lapsed the
oyster industry of the Delaware Bay. While the
oysters slowly developed a slight resistance to the
disease, another one cal led Dermo plagued the
Bay in 1990. The industry never ful ly recovered.
Today, 37 percent of the people in Cumberland
are l iving below the poverty l ine, making it the
second poorest county in the state.
Bob Bateman and Joe Lawson are part of todays
Cumberland f ishing community. They keep going
to the Delaware Bay whenever, wherever and
however the latest regulations al low them to.
Lately, they feel they are the only ones want ing to
keep the tradit ion alive.
On the evening of October 29, 2012, hurricane
Sandy made landfall in southern New Jersey,
f looding and destroying houses along the Bay,
moving sand banks and re-shaping the habitat of
crabs, oysters and other marine l i fe species.
Although the county was declared a disaster area,
i t has received less than 2 mi l l ion dol lars out of
the 1.8 bil l ion federal aid funds. To be eligible for
federal aid, a County must have suffered the loss

of at least 1 percent of i ts total value of taxable
property.
In the nearby Public Service Electr ic and Gas
(PSEG) nuclear plant, 3 bi l l ion gal lons of water
are drawn per day from the Delaware River. The
Salem plant is thought to be responsible for ki l l ing
more than 800 mi l l ion f ish in the river each year,
four t imes as many bay anchovy and weakf ish
than are commercial ly caught each year in the
Bay.
In 1990, the Department of Environmental
Protect ion (DEP) ordered PSEG to bui ld closed-
cycle cool ing towers however, in 1994 the DEP
reversed their decision by accepting PSEGs
counter-measure to create an art if ic ial wetland,
effectively f looding the 32 sq. miles of dry haven
that separate households in Port Norris and
Bivalve from the Delaware Bay t ides.
One could say that Cumberland has been
forgotten by the pol icy framework.
