Tonight...a special edition of NJ Spotlight News …All this week NJ PBS has devoted its programming to stories from the shore. It was a weeklong celebration of Jersey’s most iconic destinations…From the beautiful seaside communities under threat from environmental challenges to the bustling boardwalks that have shaped generations …we're bringing it to a close tonight with an encore presentation of a documentary we produced called Paradox: Rising Waters and Mounting Costs. The Jersey shore's sunny beaches and shallow surf have attracted families for generations; calming, scenic bays have drawn residents for even longer. Today the Shore is an economic powerhouse and cultural icon of the Garden State. But as climate change raises sea levels and fuels more dangerous storms, the costs of keeping the shore open for business are becoming more expensive. High tides regularly flood neighborhood streets...an increasingly costly nuisance for locals. And memories of Superstorm Sandy serve as reminders of the potential damages a worst-case scenario can cause. Now, it's up to local, state, and federal leaders to figure out the best ways to protect the Shore.
