Just a fyi for any one who wants to fish there, this was from an LBI site.
They are trying to make it more stable by making these geotubes. I don't know if it is a waste of money or not, we'll see.
Holgate is closed until further notice. Work is once again being done near the troubled access road, which washed out again overnight. The next effort to thwart erosion will be the on-scene making of geo-tubes. This is geotextiles in bag form, filled with sand and arranged in a specific pattern to break wave action. This is the most the state will allow since banning any hard structure, like rock breakwaters and such. The bags have met with moderate success on LBI. However, the jury is out on how well they will work against a very aggressive erosional scenario, like the entrance to the Holgate Wilderness Area
