The Borough of Mantoloking recently released the following beach and dune status update in response to the early October storm that we experienced. A summary can be found below, with a link to the complete report.
“Residents: As a result of the recent October 2015 Nor’easter which impacted Ocean County between October 1st and October 5th, 2015, the Borough of Mantoloking’s dune and beach system has been severely damaged creating an imminent threat to public health and safety. The Borough experienced Northeast winds for the entire duration of the event with documented waves in the eight (8) to twelve (12) feet range for 96 consecutive hours. Due to the storm’s low pressure system, the beach and dune system experienced higher than normal tidal conditions and significant waves. Severe erosion removed a portion of the summer beach berm and scarped the dune system. The damage was intensified as the summer berm was lost in the previous week’s storm event. ”
