A passerby looks over a newly formed cliff at a beach in Ventnor, N.J. on Monday, Oct. 14, 2019. So, if you are … Experts say much of the sand that washed away is lying in sand bars offshore and should gradually be brought back ashore by waves.This May photo, shows a new sand dune in the Ortley Beach section of Toms River, N.J., which has traditionally been one of the sections of the Jersey shore hardest hit by erosion. These deposits will form offshore bars in a few weeks.”At least some of that sand is expected to be returned to the shoreline over the winter by wave action.Farrell, director of Stockton’s Coastal Research Center, said the northeast part of every barrier island in the state except Long Beach Island “took a hit of significant scale.”He said erosion was particularly bad in North Wildwood, Strathmere and the northern end of Atlantic City’s beach, which was already eroded from previous storms.Point Pleasant Beach, one of the shore towns that most recently underwent beach replenishment, still had a vast, wide beach Monday, although a stormwater outfall pipe that had been completely covered with sand in mid-September was now jutting out into the water.Brick Township’s ocean beaches, which had been completely covered by surf that reached the foot of the pedestrian walkway, also remained in good shape Monday.Police in Sea Bright said sinkholes had developed in spots along its rock seawall and urged people to avoid the area.Farrell said Cape May was in the midst of a touch-up beach replenishment project at its northern end, and thus fared better during the days of wind and waves generated in part by a storm that passed by out to sea.A passerby looks over a newly formed cliff at a beach in Ventnor, N.J. on Monday, Oct. 14, 2019.

Along the New Jersey coast, beach nourishment and dune restoration are now he t main forms of shoreline protection. The recent storm ate away at dunes on Seaview Avenue and Neptune Avenue, leaving ocean water spilling onto the street, according to the survey.In Ocean City, Subtropical Storm Melissa created scarps up to five feet high in the northern part of the island and wiped out dunes a few blocks from the Ocean City Music Pier, according to the DEP survey.But the city has a replenishment project on the horizon too, with the Army Corps planning to place 1,255,000 cubic yards of sand on its beaches.Both Strathmere’s and Ocean City’s plans are part of the larger $32.5 million project to dump 2.4 million cubic yards of sand on Cape May beaches. He said the northern portion of many barrier islands suffered particularly notable erosion. Tags are $10.00 for the week, and $5:00 per day per person. A report called “Coastal Hazard Management Plan for New Jersey” states that 82% of the state's 127-mile-long coastline is “critically eroding.”. In May, the city placed 200,000 cubic yards onto its beaches-- all of which, he says, is now gone.Scarps, some 5 feet high, are carved into the dunes in Ventnor, following an offshore storm, Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019.The town is long overdue for beach replenishment, he said.“(The Army Corps of Engineers) has not been able to complete a beach fill in North Wildwood for many years,” he said. So if a slope gets steep enough, it essentially creates a "marine landslide," he said.That beach has always been an erosion hotspot because of its channel location, according to Dr. Thomas O. Herrington, associate director of Monmouth University's Urban Coast Institute.The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection constructed a jetty to the east to help slow erosion, Herrington says. "The Townsends Inlet channel reaches depths of up to 65 feet. SEA ISLE CITY, NJ — Ever seen a beach disappear? The speed is "second to none" among New Jersey waters, according to Farrell. Water flows at 3-4 feet per second in the channel between Sea Isle and Avalon — the area under the Townsends Inlet Bridge. News about Coast Erosion, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times. VENTNOR, N.J. (AP) — The high tides and strong winds that lashed the New Jersey shore over the weekend took a piece of it with them.Conditions that pummeled the beaches from Thursday through Sunday morning caused beach erosion that varied in severity along the coast.Some beaches lost comparatively little sand while others saw large cliffs gouged into the side of what had been large beach berms during the summer.Stewart Farrell, a beach expert with Stockton University, says virtually all the state’s ocean beaches are flatter as a result of the wind and waves.“All the beaches have lost their summer berms,” he said. VENTNOR, N.J. — The high tides and strong winds that lashed the New Jersey shore over the weekend took a piece of it with them. In Ocean County, Bay Head and the southern portion of Long Beach Township also suffered.There, surveyors recorded 40 feet of erosion on the beach, up to four feet in height, between 2nd and 7th Avenues. It briefly looked that way Thursday in Sea Isle City, when a Townsends Inlet Beach rapidly eroded.The viral video generated more than 3 million views across social media platforms. With erosion and damage along the coast, Guadagno said it only highlights the need to get the project underway and get New Jersey’s beaches protected. More than three days of high tides and strong winds caused some beach erosion at the New Jersey shore, ranging from minor to moderate.
