Whenever I think of the Jersey Shore I think of used syringes washing up on the beach.
It is a bit more than that—but that did happen (as it happened in some NY beaches).
We never saw anything like that.We own a place down here for 15 years.We are in Ocean City and down here now.Dry town.
You’re living way in the past. That happened for a couple of years back in the mid to late 80’s during the tom kean administration. It turns out that the culprit was the government of New York City they were ineffective in the way of handling their refuse and storm drainage. Once the state of nj and the feds. found out the source, the problem was solved. NY is the real garbage state and it floated here to nj. The Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988, stopped most ocean dumping. I still prefer some of the beaches in florida: condos are half the price of New Jersey’s, no lifeguards, showers and a hose at each condo to wash off the sand, beach fires, drinking, kite flying all allowed and all for free, no beach fees, no tolls, no ez-pass, no traffic on the parkway.

I’ve lived here for 30 years. Never knew anyone who saw one of those! In fact, I visit (often) a lovely town and beautiful beach on the Jersey Shore. No complaints!
