As shore-lovers look forward to summer, some New Jersey beaches are in rough shape after winter erosion.
The north end of Strathmere has experienced significant erosion over the past year, and four beach entrances are now closed.Upper Township officials say this happens every four or five years.
An Army Corps of Engineers project to replenish the beaches is scheduled for August. In the meantime, the township plans to move sand around before the summer to improve Strathmere's beaches where they can."Our number one priority is to protect the homes we have here. We do have the dune lines protecting them, and we'll have beach soon enough," said Upper Township Mayor Jay Newman.
"The Governor of New Jersey is ultimately responsible for this and he needs to take responsibility and do something," said Rosenello.
