"Unfortunately, the berm in front of the dunes is completely gone, so every high tide is washing right into our dune system," said North Wildwood Mayor Patrick Rosenello.Large cliffs have been carved out on several beaches at the Jersey shore after the storm that drenched our area for several days."Unfortunately, the berm in front of the dunes is completely gone, so every high tide is washing right into our dune system.
"That leaves really our only alternative to be a dredge offshore and that's something that we would absolutely need the State of New Jersey, the NJ DEP to partner with us on," said Rosenello.There are also plans to extend the steel bulkhead in the area of 15th Avenue for more protection.Harvey Cedars on Long Beach Island has 10-foot cliffs where beach entrances used to be.
Rehoboth Beach in Delaware also took a hit, and city officials are asking people to stay away from any wire and sharp debris while crews clean up.There is a planned beach replenishment with the Army Corps of Engineers before the summer, but if another storm comes, the borough may have to act. "We have an ongoing permit with the DEP to back pass sand if we need to, so we may go to that," said Avalon Emergency Management Coordinator Ed Dean. "The dune system is what offers protection for the island, and when we get to erosion like that, that's why it's so concerning because we need to maintain those dunes."
