Norfolk Dredging is pumping sand 24/7 onto Avalon's north end
beaches.

MORE THAN 200,000 cubic
yards of sand have been placed on Avalon's north end beaches
near 13th and 14th Streets. Sand pumping continues, with
work moving toward 9th Street. Once sand is fully placed
at the northern limit of the project, sand pumping will return
to the 14th Street area and begin moving southward to 25th
Street. Temporary closures occur in the immediate
vicinity of the work, and reopen as the work zone moves.
THE WETLANDS INSTITUTE has
moved to a temporary location so that the Salt Marsh Trail can
be elevated and improved. Work is scheduled to begin in
October. A new building has been proposed at the site, to
replace the existing building which is more than 50 years old.
Design plans call for the new building to be elevated to protect
against flooding, while increasing space for education and
programming. In the interim The Wetlands Institute will
operate from the New Jersey Coastal Conservation Center at 600
North Delsea Drive in Cape May Court House, including its
education programs and Tidepool Shop. The Institute will
continue providing public programming and education programs
from the NJCCC, including opening to the public for standard
fall/winter weekend hours of 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM Saturdays and
Sundays, beginning Saturday, November 7th, and offering school
field trips, homeschool classes for the 2026/2027 school year,
and scout programs.
