The dredge Glenn Edwards is once again sucking sand off Sandy Hook and pumping it onto Elberon's beaches.

So, what's the big deal?

The amount of structure and lumps they are burying and destroying for little gain is horrendous.

The $$ being spent that ALL of us are paying for the aentire beach replenishment fiasco which as we all know is temporary. Only benefits a select chosen few. Don't believe the fabricated BS of the tourist $$.
Going farther I seen no concern of your when they destroyed the Harvey Cedars lump a long time popular fishing lump an dredged WWII bombs on the beach. Nor the rebuilt Barnegat South jetty that buried at least 2 wrecks I know of or the Ship Bottom wreck that was beach accessible, and more I'm not aware of.
The entire coast line is being dredged and now there's concern because the dredge is now in your backyard?

Sir,
"The $$ being spent that ALL of us are paying for the aentire beach replenishment fiasco which as we all know is temporary. Only benefits a select chosen few. Don't believe the fabricated BS of the tourist $$."
The present project is not replenishment, it is a restoration project fully funded by Washington DC. I agree with you on the "benefits only a select chosen few".
"Going farther I seen no concern of your when they destroyed the Harvey Cedars lump a long time popular fishing lump an dredged WWII bombs on the beach."
Several fishing clubs, the JCAA and NJOACF all protested the use of Essential Fish Habitat during the public comment period of the project, NJCDC was part of that as well as the saving of three out of the six groins that were slated to be notched. The items you refer to as "bombs", are actually WW I munition parts called boosters. Here is an article on them:
There are signs posted at several public access points from Deal thru Loch Arbour warning beach goers to report any sightings and not to mess with them,
"Nor the rebuilt Barnegat South jetty that buried at least 2 wrecks I know of or the Ship Bottom wreck that was beach accessible, and more I'm not aware of."
Neither of the wrecks are diveable as well as the fact that both wrecks were and are buried under either several feet of sand and/or rip rap. The NJHDA was involved with the "Brick" wreck. Here is an article on it:
"The entire coast line is being dredged and now there's concern because the dredge is now in your backyard?"
My "backyard" has no sand, though the grass does need to be cut today. If anyone had plans to dive the "Dual Wrecks" there will be a difficult and lengthy access as the Lake Takanassee access point is closed due to the restoration work, COBRA is watching that situation. And the visibility will be horrendous for a while.

As I thought my question has gone over your head and your "concern" is only for yourself. Further more just who do you think pays for funds coming out of D.C? Covering your ass by trying to baffle me with your BS links has NO bearing on my original question and follow up.
What do you do for diving?

I am fully aware of who's tax dollars are paying for the restoration projects currently underway. Are you aware of what has been spent thus far? Here is another "BS link" for you:
Are you involved with any of the organizations I mentioned? I am, have and will be attending local, County, State and Federal meetings representing divers, fishermen and the general public on public access and fisheries issues. Will I see you tomorrow at Monmouth University? I will be there representing NJCDC, COBRA and will report back to the NJOACF and JCAA later this month. That you enjoy the privilege of shore diving and other aspects of our sport is due to the dedication and determination of the individuals who attend the meetings, hearings and public events. Who take their time to do the research and give the testimony to maintain and expand your access to our tidelands, which would otherwise be private areas for the one percenters. Do not try to "call out" NIMBY on people who actually go out and do what is necessary to keep your ability to enjoy our waters and recreate on and in them. Without these people you would be excluded from the beaches, inlets, rivers and bays of our State. Sites like the "Railroad Bridge" and the Maclearie Park platform would not be there for divers. Turn your energy and criticisms toward the people who would deny you your sport and support or join those who defend your rights and privileges to dive!
