REMEMBER THE SEA TURTLE that was rescued from Avalon’s beach this past summer? She was transported to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in North Carolina some time back. An update was recently posted to the Borough’s Facebook page, having been provided by Elizabeth Quinn, whose friend volunteers at the center: “She has had the opportunity to feed and give treatments to the sea turtle that the Avalon folks rescued this summer. She has affectionately been named 'Snookie’ and she is doing very well! She is a smart girl and is eating. She is being fed fish stuffed into squid, though my friend says she would prefer just squid! Thank you so much to all those who helped rescue her!”
STONE HARBOR was recently awarded a $2.7 million state grant for the mitigation of flood risks in the borough between 88th and 99th Streets. The project will include the installation of remotely operated tide control valves at existing stormwater discharge pipes, preventing tidewater from pushing into the pipes and flooding streets. Higher street elevations and a bayside pump station to be built at 93rd Street are part of the project, too.
TAKE THE PLUNGE! If you’re daring enough to take a mid-winter plunge into the ocean, you’ve got three chances to do so! Polar bear plunge events are scheduled in Sea Isle City (February 18th), North Wildwood (February 25th), and Stone Harbor (March 11th.) See below for details. The ocean water temperature just off Avalon is 44 degrees—just about average for this time of year. However, ocean water temperatures are typically at their lowest point in February and March, with average temperatures just under 40 degrees.
