The dune in one section of North Wildwood is 'completely gone,' the mayor said.
North Wildwood Mayor Patrick Rosenello said Monday, Oct. 2, 2023, that the city is building an emergency bulkhead to protect its beach patrol headquarters. Pictured: The beach in North Wildwood following a series of harsh rain and high tides.A week’s worth of rough waves and higher-than-usual tides have eaten away at what little remains of the dunes on 15th Avenue in North Wildwood, threatening the city’s lifeguards’ headquarters.
The state authorized the steel wall in the last week of September as part of an emergency permit ahead of peak hurricane season when harsh storms, heavy rain and swelling tides tend to overwhelm the shore with flooding — threatening nearby homes and other infrastructure. Rosenello, a Republican, said Monday he was pleasantly surprised when the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection authorized a new emergency steel bulkhead. The same work was part of a larger application the state not only recently rejected but became part of
As of this summer, about ten blocks worth of beach in North Wildwood were gone due to erosion and an updated figure was not clear this week due to high tides, the mayor said. “Having the bulkheads that we have in place are a great reassurance. We are going to request additional areas of bulkhead from the NJDEP in the near future,” said Rosenello, explaining that he envisions more work between 12th and 16th Avenues. “Just fortifying the town for the winter. That’s all we can do right now.”
