SAND PUMPING could begin as early as February 7th, according to a recent update on the Avalon/Stone Harbor beach replenishment. Sand will initially be dredged from Hereford Inlet and pumped onto Stone Harbor’s beaches and once that portion of the project is completed, operations will move to Avalon. Approximately 28 days of pumping will be required in Stone Harbor, and 37 days in Avalon. Equipment has already been mobilized for the project.
A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW blanketed the Island early this week. A couple of inches fell Sunday evening into Monday morning, making for some peaceful scenes along the beach and on the dunes!

A PORTION OF OCEAN DRIVE in Avalon will undergo a sewer main replacement, drainage improvements, and a complete repaving. Work will be conducted in phases over the next several months, with portions of Ocean Drive closed during construction. However, work will be suspended during the summer season so as not to impact visitors.
PROPOSED FLOUNDER FISHING LIMITS for 2017 have united both recreational as well as commercial fisherman in opposition to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. The commission has proposed a thirty percent reduction in the flounder haul of commercial fishermen, and a forty percent reduction in the recreational catch. Recreational fishermen could be limited to keeping flounder that are at least 19 inches, up from last year’s 17 inch minimum. The flounder season could also be reduced to just 59 days. Several state and federal representatives based in New Jersey have recently voiced opposition to the proposed limits, too, out of concern for the economic impact the proposed regulations could have.
