We stumbled on this recently. It was tucked away in Jack’s filing system. As you can see, this “watershed watchdog” group has been battling ground water pollution in the Shark River area. It is the threat of a suit by citizens that hits home. In this case we see Neptuners blaming Neptune City.

Read the last paragraph. The coalition began its fight against dirty water running into the Shark River Estuary in 2001. The goal was to improve the water quality and bring back natural processes. In Ocean Grove we lack that sort of citizen activism, and it is ironic that this group of clean water activists come from Neptune. But we have the special additional issue of urban sprawl and developers on both sides of Wesley Lake.

We have no information about the current status of that 18 year old fight.
