A SAND BACKPASSING CONTRACT has been awarded in Avalon, with work to begin in mid-May. 55,000 cubic yards of sand will be moved from the 32nd-40th Street “borrow” site, and transported to north-end beaches from 9th Street to 15th Street. Work will continue Monday through Friday, 7am to 3:30pm, but will pause Thursday through Monday, May 25th to 29th for Memorial Day Weekend. The project is expected to conclude in the first or second week of June.
CLEAN UP, CLEAN OUT! Bulk trash collection is coming up in both Avalon and Stone Harbor, making it the perfect time to clean up and clean out! (See below for dates.) After cleaning out, be sure to visit the Avalon Community Wide Yard Sale (Saturday, May 11th) or the Stone Harbor Community Yard Sale (Saturday, May 18th) to locate some new treasures!
THE WETLANDS INSTITUTE has been awarded a grant from the Northeast Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies to study “movements of diamondback terrapin populations in open bay and coastal salt marsh systems in New Jersey.” The study will help increase the understanding of the spatial distribution of diamondback terrapins to aid in their conservation. The three-year project will use cellular GPS transmitters to track adult male and female terrapins in the Delaware Bay and within the coastal wetlands of the Seven Mile Innovation Lab surrounding The Wetlands Institute. The Institute has always been active in protecting and promoting awareness of diamondback terrapins.
