said.

"Since the southern end of Sea Isle was classified as a high risk beach erosion area in the DEP’s recently published draft Coastal Management Program and

Environmental Impact Statement, it is imperative that funds from the Beaches and Harbor Bond are immediately released for the construction of beach jetties and groins at 62nd. 67th. 72nd and 78th Sts., our promenade extension and to dredge Townsends Inlet," said Bednarek. "THE DEP recognizes the hazardous situation in Sea Isle because we were ranked as a high risk area irc their report, yet they continue to do nothing," explained Bednarek "I am calling for action! I have Sent telegrams to Governor Byrne, DEp Commissioner Jerry English and David Kinsey, the director of Coastal Resources, urging them to authorize the construction of our beach protection projects and dredging of Townsends Inlet I urge those residents who feel the same to contact these same state officials."
