  •  Pews Creek Wetlands as a Unique Area The Pews Creek Wetlands area represents the largest uninterrupted area of salt marsh wetland and mudflat habitat along the Monmouth County Bayshore. The Compton Creek and Ware Creek floodplains are situated to the east of the Pews Creek Wetlands. During the development of the County’s Bayshore during the past two centuries the majority of the saltwater tidal floodplains have been filled and reclaimed. Thanks to the acknowledgement and appreciation of the critical value of these lands, approximately 137 acres of tidal floodplain remain at Pews Creek. The Pews Creek floodplain is surrounded to the south, east and west by single-family residential development.
