Dune Stabilization projects are being conducted all along the shore. I took these photos in late August at Bayshore Waterfront Park in Monmouth County, NJ. The sign says the project was to be completed in April but I saw evidence that it is ongoing.
This NJ Shore Website has a lot of interesting information and links.

I remember learning about these stabilization projects years ago. Very interesting to see how it's done. Thanks for the information and pictures! :-)
I can almost smell the ocean in your pictures. You are so fortunate to live near the water.
That's interesting. Wish I lived near the sea. We went to Malibu on our latest trip and I want one of those beachfront houses!
VERY interesting, Dianne, because I knew nothing about stabilization. Which sounds so strange because I grew up most of my young adult life in Florida; 2 miles from the beach.
Great shots, dear lady!
Have a fabulous day, and I know you must be enjoying this cooler weather as much as I am :)
All this looks not unlike our Florida beaches...it's a never-ending process putting sand back after Mother Nature claims it for the sea. That's especially true following a hurricane!
Expensive process!
This process also occurs with the barrier islands and cheniers in the coastal region of Louisiana. As it is, we're losing our coastline.
Great shots, Dianne! The clean-up after storms like hurricanes and tornadoes is such a huge job!! Our biggest problem in WA has been forest fires! All in all it's been a horrific year weather wise!! Enjoy your day and I hope you're having some good weather now!! Hugs to Hope and to you!!
Where are all the hairy guidos and Snookis? The beaches are empty! ;-)

Nice photos Diane! I love the shore!
<><
One storm takes away, the next one brings back.
Amazing what mother nature can do. I always respected her. Stay safe on the Jersey shore! ;)
Hugs from Ohio,

Being a surfer, seeing this sort of conservation really hits home. Makes me happy to see this sort of thing going on!
we just pumped a lot of sand back on Waikiki beach

Wonderful photographs, beautiful places. I am greeting
Great sights captured. Very essential to do these projects.
Wonderful pictures of what Nature can do and where we have no control....It all looks pretty bad, doesn't? So much debris washed up on the beach...!
I didn't realize there was so much damage there -- hope the stabilization efforts are successful.
We often say here in The Valley that we have everything we want...except the ocean. Nice shore line there.
It's a never ending battle, but one worth fighting...LOVE THE SHORE!!
made me think of Bobbie and her environmental posts .. thanks, Di xo
Yes this is like a Bobbie post...I wonder what they are planting in rows. This is so interesting and glad to see they are doing something.. Have a good weekend Dianne..hug Hope for me..Michelle
Love beach shots...
always wonder why 'they' bother to post
signs with a completion date when the work always takes longer... obviously they don't get fined for delays.
New Jersey has sure taken more than its fair share of beatings from Mother Nature lately. Nice to see that the state is doing things to set the dunes right again.
After all, there's so much more to The Jersey Show than those idiots on that program that I never ever watched were on!
It takes me back seeing these pics as I grew up in Holland. Dune fortification was part of growing up. Thanks for the memory relift!
Amazing how the coastline can change over a storm or over the years.
I'm glad that the shore is being fortified there before more storms arrive. It was an unusual summer in so many ways, wasn't it?
