Beach erosion in Avalon.

The American Coastal Coalition has warned mayors and administrators in the state’s coastal areas of significant cuts to federal beach replenishment funding.

In a letter dated June 4, the coalition said: “The administration zeroed out all beach nourishment funding in the FY25 federal budget, meaning no New Jersey beach nourishment projects will be completed this upcoming winter despite scheduled nourishments for both Ocean City and Stone Harbor/Avalon.” Cape May City also has a scheduled project that would have been eligible for replenishment funding.
