On March 27th, 2010 a string line fence will constructed along the Brigantine dune line to protect and secure a buffer. The New Jersey Beach Buggy Assoc. along with other surf fishing associations under the supervision of the NJ division of fish and wildlife (endangered and nongame species section) provided an area for endangered and migratory shore birds. This project will allowed Cynthia Coritz, Superintendent of Bass River State Forest and North Brigantine Natural Area the opportunity to protect our wildlife and at the same time give access to sportsman along with the public to the shore line.
This joint effort goes to show that public organizations, Division of Fish and Wildlife and Parks and Forrest can work together.
On April 10th, 2010 a snow fence project will take place at IBSP. All interested can meet at main office at 8am (beach permits will be waved for this project)
