DEP'S Dredging Priorities Puzzling

By E. J. DUFFY “It’s large now — Cape May is one of the big leaders of the commercial fishing industry," said R. Craig Koedel, an Atlantic County College history professor who has researched and written a history of South Jersey shellfishing, "Following the Water," "1 would say it became a big enterprise in the pre-Civil, War years," Koedei added. “They were dredging by 1842 If they were dredging, that indicates it was a pretty big enterprise." Inlet and channel shoaling is a perpetual problem for all boat owners who pass between the barrier islands through the inshore waterways and inlets, to and from the ocean — just for fun or to earn a living as a commercial fisherman. The Inlets- attract sand like magnets and dredging is routinely required to keep them open. The cost of deeding escalates annually and many inlets require annual dredging. SEVERAL a YEARS AGO, the Coast Guard removed navigational aides from Corson's Inlet when that state-controlled channel south of Ocean City, became impassable to all but the smallest craft. Bouys were also removed from ftereford Inlet, between Stone Harbor and North Wildwood, when shoaling there became too severe. But neither inlet serves as a passage for commercial fishing boats. Besides recreational craft, one party boat and an occasional clammer use state-regulated Hereford Inlet during the summer After complaints from a boating organization and municipalities adjoining Hereford Inlet, and after the state deposited unexpected funds into the Department of Environmental Protection coffers, the DEP decided to dredge that inlet this year.

“The economic benefit of dredging Herefcrd Inlet is minimal," griped Daniel Cohen of Sea Harvest, which operates five fishing and five clamming boats out of Sea Harvest Industrial Park along the north shore of Cape May harbor. COHEN QUESTIONED how the DEP arrived at its priorities when deciding that Herefore Inlet should be dredged while the channels into the commercial docks in Cape May-Wildwood harbor should not. "The question is, if the public good is involved in dredging for commercia s,” he said, repeating the DEP’s iwsition while arguing that, in fact the state has dredged Manasquan Inlet, home port for a commercial fleet half the size of that in Cape May-Wildwood, and non-commercial Whale Harbor in Avajon. Cohen cited South Jersey's reputed lack of political clout in Trenton as anotner reason why the state's largest commercial fishing port remains a little too sandy. "I think that's very true,” agreed Warren Lund of Lund's' Fisheries, Cohen’s dockside neighbor Lund’s operates 15 trawlers that sometimes "bump bottom” on tieir way to its docks, he said “WE HAVE TO LEAVE on the high tide or ve kick up bottom,'' echoed Keith Laudeman, whose father owns the Lobster House restaurant and Cold Spring Fish and Supply Co. on the same dock. That dock services 20-25 independent commercial fishing boats “There’s a lot of time lost," Laudeman complained, waiting for the tide o take a favorable turn Often, the larger vessels scrape bottom from the end of the Cold Spring dock until they reach the dredged c oannel to the sea off the Coast Guard base on the south shore of the harbor. "It's come to the point now
