A fall afternoon on the bay!
A fall afternoon on the bay!


AVALON'S BEACHFILL is nearing completion.  As of last week, more than 900,000 cubic yards of sand have been placed on north-end beaches, and work is progressing toward the 23rd Street beach. 
 
TOWNSENDS INLET is to be dredged in the area of the bridge, removing a sandbar that has been encroaching on the drawbridge and hindering safe navigation, according to an announcement last week by Congressman Jeff Van Drew.  According to the announcement Avalon and Sea Isle City will partner to share much of the cost, with contributions from Cape May County and the Cape May County Bridge Commission.  By using the same dredge already in place for beach replenishment work in Avalon, the cost of mobilizing equipment for the emergency dredging project is greatly reduced. 
 
TWO GREAT WAYS TO HELP: Annual Dune Grass Planting and Beach Sweeps are coming up in Avalon and Stone Harbor.  Each represents a great way to give back to the island we love!  Dune grass helps stabilize our dunes which protect the island during storms; beach sweeps remove trash and debris from our beautiful beaches, and keep it from washing into our waterways.  See below for details on how to volunteer for these important events!
 
NEW JERSEY'S TALL SHIP needs a new keel!   After plying the waters of Delaware Bay since 1928 as a working oyster vessel, AJ Meerwald, New Jersey's official tall ship, is in need of a major keel timber replacement.  The keel is her structural backbone, and a section of the original 100-year-old keel has deteriorated.  Having completed a summer of sailing from Cape May, AJ Meerwald will make her way to Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, where the repair work will take place over the winter.  Want to help? For more info on the keel project, or to donate
