This is what is being allowed by NOAA and our governmment

This is a picture of what used to be Inrock hill. You can see the divot between the two pinicals. The hill came up to 54ft --it is now a 68 ft hole.

This was a natural fish haven for probably 10,000 years. Wiped out in one year. This was a good place to fish and now it's gone! The dredge barge is currently in the process of taking away the sand from other underwater ridges off Seaside and off of Chadwick, to throw up onto the beaches of the elite.

If this process was being done in a forest, where the public would see the damage, there would be outrage.

This is a big problem and it effects not only the underwater hill habitats but the waters close to the beach where living organisms are being covered by sand. It is a fact that the population of surf clams have been decimated during this process. Surf fishing has not been the same and even boats, rarely, catch fish close to the beaches anymore.

Beach replenishment is virtually shoveling sh-- against the tide. It'll be washed away in the next Nor'easter and Inrock hill will wind up inside of Manasquan Inlet.

I've been hearing that Manasquan Ridge is next in their sights.

We need to make people aware and try to stop this. Too many fish havens are gone already.

If they want to do any kind of beach replenishment, the substance should come from channels and inlets --and I don't buy the argument that sand from the inlets is the wrong type of sand.

Thanks for your thoughts
