Hey guys there is a meeting on Wednesday April 1, 7pm at the Old Bridge Police HQ/Town hall at Cottrell ave and Rt 516, Old Bridge.

At this meeting, EPA representatives will be there to discuss and take questions from the general public on any comments or concerns about the proposed fencing of the beach taking place in less than 2 weeks.

Some fishermen fish that area in the early spring and then move on, so it might not get as much focus as Brookhaven, Long Branch, or someplace else.

Fencing in the proposed area:

1. Will push fishermen into other areas, resulting in overcrowding.
2. Will not prevent fishing access by kayakers, boaters, only fishermen on foot.
3. Seems discriminatory against the shore bound fisherman.

Details of contamination:
I talked to quite a few people about this, and each time got different stories. Anyone who has any specific details please put them in the thread.




Action Plan/Remediation:





If anyone of you guys out there know any groups who fish that area and might get involved, Wednesday might be the last chance we get to speak out for fishermen. Please try to go to the meeitng if you live nearby, or ever fish there. Please relay this info to any site or fishermen you think people might be able to help.
