Powerful waves from Subtropical Storm Josephine out in the Atlantic Ocean are battering the Jersey Shore. It’s making erosion even worse on beaches already torn up from September’s nor’easter.
In Beach Haven on Wednesday, crews used bulldozers to push sand toward damaged dunes in an effort to protect the shoreline from further erosion.
Just last week, New Jersey requested emergency federal assistance to repair beaches damaged by the September storm.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is now reviewing that request to determine eligibility for assistance.
