The Army Corps of Engineers confirmed today that the sand replenishment plans for the Lagoon and L-jetty have been formally retracted. I am now working with our legal advisors to ensure these protected zones are officially recorded in the updated municipal coastal management plan to prevent future threats.

Families have cherished the Lagoon and L-jetty for nearly a century. Built in response to the 1916 Matawan shark attack scare so that parents could allow their children to play in the water without fear, the Lagoon continues to provide a safe haven for young children to enjoy the ocean. The L-jetty is a special place for fishermen, surfers and scuba divers; it was featured in Scuba Diving magazine as one of New Jersey's premier shore diving locations. Sand replenishment over these two areas would bury both the Lagoon and L-jetty, essentially destroying them. Join us in letting local officials and the Army Corps of Engineers know that you do NOT want lose the Lagoon and L-jetty to sand replenishment.

The current level of engagement provides necessary leverage for our upcoming meeting with town council members. I am finalizing a formal letter to the Army Corps of Engineers that incorporates these concerns to ensure our position is on their official record.

Please post if there are other steps we can take to help block this from happening.
these are iconic and essential to have to make allenhurst beach remain the same. Getting rid of this would be changing allenhurst beach as a whole. This will cause nothing but upset
I spent my childhood at this lagoon and hold so many memories from here. It's a really great wait for kids to get more in tuned with nature and broaden their horizons. This lagoon needs to stay.
I have cherished this lagoon and L-jetty my entire 21 years of living, it is a trademark to all locals. The replenishment of sand over these areas would be a devastation to myself and many others. SAVE THE LAGOON AND L JETTY
Too many memories here to just let them bury it in sand. My kids learned to swim in that lagoon and they would be devasted if it went away. Leave it alone!
Please save the lagoon and jetty!!
Save the L-Jetty! For surfers, divers, and the future generations!

We spent many joyful days bringing the kids to the jetty at AH. There’s not much to do with the kids with only sand. The rocks and tidal pools fascinate everyone
