If your property includes floating docks or manufactured bulkheads, and you're not keeping them scrubbed, you're risking a proliferation future of the stinging, voracious jellyfish called sea nettles. New Jersey environmental officials venture to Ocean County lagoon areas in mid-May, to demonstrate effective maintenance.
Additional findings on Sea nettle research that could help curb the population and improve the overall ecological health of the Barnegat Bay will be discussed at a forum next month at Ocean County College in Toms River.
No one wants sea nettles ruining the enjoyment, or the ecology, of Barnegat Bay, yet they remain a threat. New Jersey environmental regulators are bringing bayfront homeowners into the battle with a common-sense method to nip their breeding in the bud.
