Hydrant Flushing and Seal Sunning

Please be aware the township will be conducting hydrant flushing from 4/24 to 4/28. You may experience rust in the water for a period of time.

A seal was either sunning itself or stranded on 17th street beach on April 8th and 9th. Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine was contacted and the seal was rescued successfully. Please be aware that federal law prohibits anyone from approaching any beached seals. 150 feet is the rule but on our small-ish beaches that can be tough. Use discretion please. The baby gray seal was safe and healthy, and was relocated to a different area on the coast.

If you encounter a beached seal and it appears in distress please call Marine Mammal Stranding Center.  609-226-7928
