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.
