Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update April 11, 2019

April 13, 2019 By Bill and Kay Leahy

Last week it was announced that the Townsend’s Inlet Bridge wouldn’t reopen by Memorial Day; this week the reopening was pushed back to “late summer.”

TOWNSEND’S INLET BRIDGE: CLOSED UNTIL “LATE SUMMER.”  A project to replace seven spans of the twenty-seven span Townsend’s Inlet Bridge has been underway since September—sometimes around the clock—but now the bridge is not expected to reopen until “late summer.”  Originally slated for a May 22nd reopening in order to accommodate summer traffic, recent “geotechnical” issues have caused the delayed reopening, to the disappointment of local and county officials.  The closed bridge turns an easy crossing from Avalon’s northern tip to Sea Isle’s southern tip into a 15-mile, 27-minute trip, one-way.

WHALES IN DELAWARE BAY!  The Atlantic City Press reports that humpback whales have been spotted in Delaware Bay between Cape May Point and Town Bank.  Warmer water temperatures and an abundance of bunker—a bait fish and common food for whales—are likely responsible for the whales’ presence so close to shore.  Normally whales are found in deeper offshore waters.  Check out the article here:

OVER 60 FAMILIES have purchased a new shore property this year in Avalon & Stone Harbor!  Imagine the excitement they’re experiencing as the summer season approaches!  Want to join that group?  Call me today and I’ll help find you the perfect shore property!  There’s still time to be in for the summer!

THE MID-ATLANTIC FISHERIES COUNCIL is meeting in Avalon Monday through Thursday of this week.  The Council monitors various fisheries and periodically adjusts regulations to protect each species.  This week’s meeting will be held at Icona Avalon, and the public is invited.  Click here for more information on the Council and meeting agenda:  http://www.mafmc.org/council-events/april-2019-council-meeting

THE COAST GUARD urges boaters transiting the Intracoastal Waterway between Cape May and Barnegat to use caution due to 20 navigational pylons that were damaged by ice during the winter.  The pylons are submerged, but their locations are marked by wreck buoys.  Six damaged pylons have already been removed, and the Coast Guard plans to remove the remaining 20.

BEACH SWEEPS take place in Avalon and Stone Harbor on Saturday, April 13th.  Volunteers are needed to help clean local beaches!  In Avalon, volunteers should meet at 801 Avalon Avenue (please call 609-967-7697 or email scamp@avalonboro.org to sign up); in Stone Harbor, volunteers should meet at Beach Patrol headquarters at 95th Street & the beach.  Beach Sweeps are organized by Clean Ocean Action in 60 locations along the New Jersey coast.  Volunteers should dress for the weather and bring gloves.
