Here's the last thing you'll wanna read about while we're smack-dab in the middle of summer: New Jersey's beaches continue to slip when it comes to the water quality, according to a recent report from the National Resources Defense Council.
New Jersey officials have been working for months to clear Sandy debris out of the ocean and in back bays up and down the Jersey Shore, but boaters and swimmers are still being advised to stay vigilant for possible problems.
When people think of sharks in the waters off the coast of New Jersey, generally they think of nurse sharks, mako sharks, sand sharks and others. But, the state is actually a breeding ground for great white sharks.
Swimmers taking a dip in the nations oceans, bays and lakes still stand a greater chance of getting sick, according to coastal advocates across the country who are planning to sue the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Despite the fact that many people don't know what to do in the event of a water emergency, nearly two-thirds of families with small children plan to swim in areas without lifeguards this summer.
Ok, here's a riddle for you. What do you get when you combine Hurricane Leslie and no lifeguards at the Jersey Shore area beaches? Answer? A recipe for disaster.
