With
127 miles of coastline
featuring white sandy
beaches, sparkling waters,
boardwalks with food and
fun, dazzling casinos, sport
fishing and boating, the
Jersey Shore has long been a
favorite vacation
destination.
From Monmouth and Ocean to
Atlantic and Cape May
counties, the Jersey Shore
is a unique natural treasure
and a major contributor to
the state’s economy.
In 1991,
when the brutal Halloween
storm hit the shore, the
receding shoreline provided
little protection for the
coastal communities, and the
wind and tides created havoc
with roads, boardwalks,
buildings and the beaches
themselves.
Since then, more than
50
million cubic yards of sand
have been pumped on to New
Jersey beaches. Roads that
regularly flooded with every
moon tide are now above
water in even the worst
storms.
Much of the credit
for this improvement goes to
The Jersey Shore
Partnership, Inc. and its
continuing efforts to raise
the awareness of state and
federal officials and the
general public to the need
for safeguarding the
shoreline through beach
restoration and other shore
protection methods.
In 2006,
the Jersey Shore Partnership
Foundation, Inc. was
established as a
not-for-profit 501©(3) for
the purpose of sponsoring
educational activities,
raising funds and awarding
grants for the support and
promotion of the Jersey
Shore Partnership, Inc. and
its several purposes.
Contributions to the
Foundation are tax
deductible as allowed by law
and will be acknowledged in
membership communications.
We invite
you to membership in The
Jersey Shore Partnership and
invite you to explore its website
and its related links that
will keep you informed of
coastal issues and the
Partnership’s continued
efforts to protect our
beaches.
