Jennifer Moriarty, Watershed and Land Management, Assistant Commissioner
Assistant Commissioner

Jennifer Moriarty is the Assistant Commissioner for Watershed and Land Management, overseeing the Division of Watershed Protection & Restoration, the Division of Land Resource Protection and the Division of Resilience, Engineering & Construction.

Jennifer joined DEP in 2021, as Director of the Division of Land Resource Protection, bringing a legal-minded approach to the Division’s management and providing a framework for reasonable outcomes that recognize applicants' goals, while protecting wetlands, coastal resources, flood hazard areas, water quality, and public health and safety. She was instrumental in the drafting of portions of the REAL (Resilient Environments and Landscapes) rule proposal, particularly related to nature-based solutions and coastal zone management.

Jennifer holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware and a law degree from Temple University. She spent the first decade of her legal career as a Deputy Attorney General, in the New Jersey Division of Law's Environmental Permitting and Counseling Section. She represented DEP in litigation, as well as providing counsel on other, similar concerns. Jennifer focused on land use permitting matters and secured several environmentally protective settlements, as well as appellate and trial court successes. During this time, she developed deep expertise in DEP’s land resource protection rules and policies, supporting our DEP team in protecting our wetlands, riparian areas, habitats, coastal resources and more.

As Assistant Commissioner, Jennifer brings a wealth of experience and her collaborative leadership style to support the WLM team as it works to implement transformative reforms that better protect our communities, neighbors and land resources from the impacts of climate change and prioritize a watershed-based approached to land resource protection.

Jennifer lives in Camden County, and enjoys time at the beach and exploring the outdoors with her husband, two young children, and rescue mutts.
