Shoreline Protection
Bayhead, New Jersey
In the weeks following the impact of Superstorm Sandy, Watermen, LLC teamed with private homeowners to design, permit, and construct the largest privately funded response to the Storm along the Jersey Shore. In total, the projects in Mantoloking and Bay Head will protect approximately 4,000 feet of shoreline from future storms.
The Project included construction of a rock revetment and protective dune in the location of the pre-Sandy dune in the Boroughs of Mantoloking and Bay Head. Watermen was part of the homeowner organization process which consolidated property owners of like-minded goals to form special purpose LLCs to fund the work. Once organized, Watermen personnel entered intensive regulatory discussions with NJDEP, ultimately securing emergency approvals to construct the work in a timely fashion. Subsequently, Watermen personnel conducted a private bid process, awarded a contract, and supervised the construction.
The project is recognized as an example of successful non-governmental emergency response and has been featured on the This Old House television program.
