New Jersey Coastal Inlets and Beaches, Study of Sandy Hook to Island Beach State Park.

Abstract

A study of the navigation, beach erosion, and storm protection problems and needs for the area along the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey from Sandy Hook to Island Beach State Park was undertaken. The existing Federal navigation projects Manasquan River and Shark River were found to provide deep, well stabilized channels for commercial and recreational boats. However, erosion was found to have seriously reduced the width of beaches in the study area subjecting public and private property to storm damage. A summary of project economics for storm measures is presented. (Author)
