“As the summer season kicks off this Memorial Day, NJ Spotlight News examines New Jersey’s shrinking shoreline and the significance this has on tourism and its impact on the state’s economy — as well as the billions of federal and state dollars being spent to maintain New Jersey’s beaches each year.
