Stone Harbor Property Owners Association Offer Becomes
Catalyst for Debate on Beach Plans: Stone Harbor’s federally
sponsored beach replenishment is complete. History predicts that the
newly nourished beaches will almost immediately begin to lose sand,
which will move in a southerly direction past the 127th Street groin.
Some of the sand will be captured by Stone Harbor Point and some will
continue the journey south to the inlet and Five Mile Beach. Avalon Introduces Ordinance Creating New Schedule of Fees for
Water, Sewer Rates: Avalon Council introduced a resolution,
July 26, that, if adopted, will restructure user fees for the
municipality’s water and sewer rates. As previously reported, the main
impact on user fees will come in the area of fees to support the Cape
May County Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA) expense. Avalon Fire Rescues 2 People Off Stranded Sailboat:
The Department used wave runners to help rescue two boaters after their
sailboat ran aground inTownsend’s Inlet during a thunderstorm. According
to information published by NJ.com, Water and Sewer Fees: At the Avalon Council work session, July 12, the council heard a
proposal from Chief Financial Officer James Craft and Tax Collector
Eleanor Cifaloglio concerning proposed changes to the water and sewer
fee schedule.
Stone Harbor Attempts to Address Parking App Problems: Stone Harbor
implemented a new parking protocol, May 1, that has, so far, resulted in

Emergency Dredging Project in Pennsylvania Harbor to be
Completed in July: Borough officials held a
pre-construction meeting with Trident Marine Piling Company of Longport,
NJ regarding an emergency dredging project in Pennsylvania Harbor.
Material largely consisting of sand has clogged a portion of the
navigation channel which requires the Borough to provide immediate
attention as this provides a navigational hazard and a threat to public
safety.

The Avalon Dune and Beach Trail
provides a remarkable opportunity to explore a rare and unique landscape
and lost ecosystem. Prior to European settlement, barrier islands
throughout the mid-Atlantic regions were largely covered with maritime
forests that gradually gave way to shrub forests, then meadows, dunes
and finally the beach. Today, this environment is largely
gone—the victim of clearing and development. The vast and extensive dune
complexes are now mostly constructed and limited to a narrow coastal
swath directly behind the beach.

HAPPY 4th OF JULY! My best wishes to you and your
family for a wonderful Summer.


Update: JULY 2, 2023 Beach Closures & Beach Nourishment:
Beaches & Crossovers are closed from 110th to 113th Streets for beach
nourishment operations. – Expect intermittent closures of the 123rd
Street parking lot for mobilization/storage of equipment and supplies. –
Most advanced basket discharge station: 111th Street – The Dredge,
Texas, and Booster are on site. – Subline landing in Stone Harbor at
91st Street – Dredge, Texas, has pumped approximately 483,597 CY of sand
to date (per GLDD).
Navigating Beach Access: For visitors heading to the beach,
it’s essential to be mindful of the large subline piping installed along
our beaches south of 91st Street. To ensure your safety, designated
crossovers have been constructed at each beach entrance. These
crossovers provide a secure way to traverse the pipe and access the
beach. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this necessary
operation, but the future benefits of an enhanced beach will be well
worth it. Lifeguard of the Week: Ian Schiavone: This week’s
lifeguard is a seasoned member of the Stone Harbor Beach Patrol, Ian
Schiavone. Ian grew up outside of Philly but moved down to the shore
after graduating high school. He is currently a rising senior at
Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, where he majors in
Public Policy and Economics.

for more Information Turtle Crossings Causing Traffic Issues In Shore Town:
Stone Harbor – Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution
while traveling along Stone Harbor Boulevard as a significant number of
turtles have been observed crossing the roadway. This influx of turtles
has resulted in multiple traffic hazards, with drivers suddenly braking
and individuals hastily rushing across the street to assist the
reptiles.

Councilman Dave Ellenberg said. "We have to do whatever we can to
preserve them." Read More
