Chairs face the Atlantic Ocean in Beach Haven
The New Jersey Assembly and Senate has approved a measure to ban smoking on public beaches and parks. The bill now goes to Gov. Chris Christie, who vetoed an earlier attempt two years ago, saying it should be a local decision.
Earlier in the week, the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium released a report that detailed the pounding New Jersey’s beaches took last winter from two major storms and a succession of several less severe disturbances. As a result, some Shore towns are still trying to recover from significant erosion.
Those events add up to the question, what’s in store for the Shore this season?
