Default Re: Submerged superstorm debris threatens tourism

The morning after the storm I was in port monmouth and belford looking for storm pushed birds (there were lots of pomerine jaegers, which are normally well offshore, as well as other pelagic bird species). While scanning the bay there were numerous peaks of roofs floating around, likely just parts of roofs, but quite large none-the-less. I assume these were from houses lost from port monmouth up through union beach.

In speaking with a few of the workers from sandy hook, within one tide change after a cleanup there's hunks of debris back on the shore. Be careful out there when boating, and keep a keen eye out.
