Whether you are a “local,” a second-home owner, part-time-summer resident or a weekend visitor, Cape May’s beaches are probably very important to you. Many “locals” depend on the beach for their very livelihood while second home owners and summertime residents often decide to invest here because the beach defines their summer, or for the excellent investment value. Weekend visitors, on the other hand, are often people who want to spend more time at the beach but simply haven’t figured out how to go about it. Regardless, we all love the beach, but we also know that the beach poses its own unique hazards. We also appreciate the fact that the beach is extremely fragile and is greatly affected by the actions, or inactions of those who spend time on it.
All beach lovers are invited to a very special program to be held May 25 from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the Lower Regional High School theatre. The program will detail how the beach changes from season to season, how humans affect the beach and what can be done to protect the beach for future generations and the environment. A major focus of the program on beach safety will be presented by Chad De Satnick, a local surfer who recovered from a severe injury suffered in a surfing/beach accident. The program will conclude with a short film entitled “Beach, A River of Sand.”
If you spend any time on Cape May’s beaches, you’ll not want to miss this important free program. For more information, contact the Cape May Environmental Commission by calling City Hall at (609) 884-9525.
