DESCRIPTION: The project consists of 21 miles of shoreline from the Borough of Sea Bright to the Manasquan Inlet in Monmouth County, New Jersey. The project provides beach erosion control, protection of the shoreline of the the highly populated communities and infrastructure located along the Atlantic coast of Monmouth County, New Jersey. Storm damage reduction is provided by a 100 foot wide beach berm at a total elevation of +12 ft mean low water (MLW), +9.3 ft North Atlantic Vertical Datum (NAVD). The project includes periodic nourishment on a 6-year cycle for a period of 50 years from the start of initial construction. The non-Federal sponsor for the project is the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), who is responsible for acquiring all lands, easements, and rights-of-way and providing 35% of the total costs of the project. The project area is divided into two sections: Section I - which extends for 12 miles from Sea Bright to Loch Arbour (formally Ocean Township), and Section II - which includes the 9 miles from Asbury Park to the Manasquan Inlet.
