The Army Corps of Engineers will survey the large sandbar at Manasquan Inlet.
Linda Anne, a 38-foot sportfishing boat based in Manasquan, heads outbound from Manasquan Inlet on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022, in Manasquan. Sand has piled up along the south jetty, which some say has created hazardous navigational conditions as well as a new beach inside the inlet.The Army Corps of Engineers will visit the Manasquan Inlet next week to survey a large sandbar that has formed in the waterway, U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, R-4th Dist., said Wednesday.
Smith alerted the Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District via letter last week before holding a conference call on Monday with Lt. Col. Ramon Brigantti and Capt. Howard Bogan. During the call, Smith also asked the Corps to study the channel depth throughout the inlet, noting that if the issue worsens, larger vessels, including the commercial fishing fleet, could experience groundings.
“Under fair weather conditions, boats can steer clear of the sand bar, but with a 25-knot wind pushing them around, it will be very dangerous — especially if the sandbar continues to grow at the current rate,” Smith said.

Claims of 'IRS army' targeting US taxpayers are misleadingSocial media posts and conservative politicians claim sweeping economic legislation provides for a new 'army' of 87,000 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) auditors to target all US taxpayers -- creating an agency larger than the Pentagon, State Department, Border Patrol and FBI combined. This is misleading; the comparisons are overstated, only a small number of IRS agents carry weapons, and the planned additional tax enforcement measures are aimed at large companies and higher-income Americans.
