Our state government is about to vote to fund beach replenishment - the replenishment that was not supposed to be done until each town had provided their MAP (Municipal Access Plan) which only one town, Sea Bright, ever did.
What this means is that the towns will have absolutely no incentive to provide access and the state will have no leverage to force them to do so.
Please send this note to your representatives ASAP.
Here is a link to find your Assemblymen and Senators

Please send this (or your own version of it)
A mention that this issue could cost them your vote in the next election would be a nice touch.
RE: S2600/A3892 - Shore Protection Projects Funding
Dear ______
The bill mentioned above proposes a "prioritization" system which has, in our experience, never been effective in securing the needed public access. I am asking that the Legislature require public access. If public access is not created, or enhanced (such as providing needed parking or restrooms), no Shore Protection Funds should be spent.
Sincerely,
