Beach Fill to Shift Dunes

By Camille Sailer

SEA ISLE CITY – Sea Isle City Business Administrator George Savastano reported Oct. 8 that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ $38 million beach replenishment project would start “soon.” It is hoped that it will finish no later than mid-June, with a push to finish by mid-spring.
The project, which will provide beach replenishment for Sea Isle City, Strathmere and Ocean City, will necessitate, per Savastano’s explanation, “some residential easements for property owners in the south end.
“There is a slight re-design for the area, from 85th Street to 92nd Street, that will shift dunes to the west, and thereby provide more recreational beach area without compromising beach protection based on the dunes. There will also be a re-design for the beaches in the downtown area to provide for more recreational space, but this will not require any easements.”
