ASBURY PARK PRESS APP.COM $1.00 LLLLLLLL FRIDAY 05.22.15 VOLUME 136 NUMBER 122 SINCE 1879 ASBURY PARK — Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin didn’t mince words when he spoke about the property owners who refuse to sign off on easements needed for an Ocean County beach replenishment project. “The only word that comes to mind is ‘selfish,’ ” he said of the holdouts. Martin spoke Thursday at the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium’s 13th annual State of the Shore re- port, which highlights the health of the state’s 127 miles of shoreline. Overall, New Jersey’s beaches are “outstanding” and the water quality is “great,” Martin said. In between lauding the state’s beaches — from which New Jersey derives roughly half of its $42 bil- lion tourism industry — Martin updated reporters on the status of various beach replenishment projects. Here are five highlights from the presentation and interviews with Martin and the state’s top coastal sci- entists.
