Beach Replenishment funds come from federal, state, and local sources.
Those beach replenishment funds also protect small businesses that pump millions of dollars of sales tax into state coffers each summer.
Rental inventory is down along the Jersey Shore as many homeowners do not need rental income to afford their second (or third or fourth) home. Ask local merchants about their midweek revenue in July 2019 vs July 2009 vs July 1999.
Beach badge revenue helps local municipalities to fund lifeguards and beach cleaning processes.
