New Jersey § 13:19-31

Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 13:19-31, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.

§ 13:19-31.

The Legislature finds and declares that the New Jersey shore is a valuable environmental

and economic resource, and that every effort should be made to ensure the continued

viability of the shoreline; that periodic storms threaten to destroy portions of

the shore and property located upland of the shore, especially in areas where beach

and dune maintenance has been neglected; that although federal shore protection and

disaster relief aid has helped to mitigate the adverse effects of subsequent storms

on particular beachfronts, many beaches remain ineligible for these types of federal

aid due to ignorance of the eligibility requirements; and that many shore municipalities

could qualify for federal aid in the future if they implement the basic beach maintenance

techniques specified in federal guidelines. The Legislature therefore determines that it is altogether fitting and proper for

the State to provide informational and educational services to shore municipalities

concerning the eligibility requirements for federal shore protection and disaster

relief aid.
