Navigational Hazard unmarked Shark River Inlet

[jakesdad]

That entire river is now an accident waiting to happen. I have been running out of Shark River since the early 60's, and this is by far the worst I have ever seen it.

Outside the main channel in the river it is now a bar on the Avon side, and shoaling on the Belmar side. Be careful everyone.

I think it's time to petition coast guard to find out why it hasn't been dredged. Millions of dollars of boats there

The last time the channels inside of the Rt 71 bridge were dredged was in the 80's
The responsibility is the State Department of Transportation.

There is money already allocated to dredge but there is no place to dewater or take the dewatered dredge to .

Sen Jen Beck and Freeholder Tom Arnone are working hard to make it happen.

Wall township has a place to dewater but won't allow it to be used.

It is a total cluster nut!

They had a press release that 100, 000 cubic yards will be dredged this fall.

That is less than 10% of what needs to be removed so basically it's pissing up wind.

The river is dying and in 20 more year it will be dead unless it's dredged.

Water and silt from as far away as Collingswood circle and Walmart area drains in so everything on the street like dirt leaves oil dog feces etc from the entire area fills in and pollutes the river basin.

Here are the GPS coordinates on the map. We believe we hit this two weeks ago returning in low tide as we rounded the channel heading into the E/W portion heading back to the docks. Was closer to the green can side as we came around it.
