300,000 CUBIC YARDS of new sand are already on the beach in nearby Strathmere, where a dredging project recently began. The dredge will soon begin pumping sand onto Sea Isle City beaches, which are due to receive almost 500,000 cubic yards.
Avalon is planning a beachfill by "backpassing" sand from south-end beaches, where it is plentiful, to north-end beaches, where it is needed.
