beach easements

More than 19 months after Superstorm Sandy lashed New Jersey, beachfront homeowners are still fighting efforts to build large sand dunes on their properties to protect against future hurricanes.

Oceanfront property owners have become the victims of public shaming in some Jersey shore towns, but should they be considered the bad guys?

Many homeowners along the Jersey Shore are the recipients of a letter from New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Bob Martin explaining the importance of creating a dune system and the need for easements to be signed by all oceanfront homes.

The ongoing battle between Shore communities and beachfront homeowners over easements for federal beach replenishment projects has May 1st deadline according to 3rd District Congressman John Runyan.
