That inlet can be nasty and when you have a very well known non sponsor who has navigated the mouth more than most talking about how treacherous it was this past weekend, the powers to be had better start listening or peoples lives will be at risk. I'm sure if Debbie comes close to the coast working her way north, that mouth will be extremely dangerous for days and probably most of the work the Army Corp is doing this week will be washed away.

Yep probably one of the busiest inlets in our state barring the big commercial ports stacked with big powerful companie$ and commerce who's interests are always looked after and proactively taken care of. I get that but sadly Manasquan is loaded with small recreational and commercial fishing businesses who get ignored unless they make noise.
Not sure what the root cause is but I'd bet it has a lot to do with beach replenishment and we all know that's not going to stop... Best we can hope for short term is when these smaller inlet situations arise, they get the proper attention and priority they also deserve.
