Dennis,

While currently our issues with marine life die-off are minimal at best. It’s my opinion that we do not have need to participate in a clean up effort at this time. I will caution though that I don’t expect the problem to show its true depth until water temperatures rise and bacteria / algae growth rates dramatically rise.

Good morning

Can you please check any areas which may have been affected that mother nature did not resolve – I’m not hearing anything much from the public.

Thanks

Good Morning:

I am working to try to see if we can secure a vendor to help clean up all the dead fish in some of our Monmouth waters.

If your town has a dead fish issue and you would like to potentially partner in a cleanup effort (I am working to get the state to reimburse the towns for cleanup) please e-mail me ASAP so we can setup a call for Monmouth towns interested.

The County has also been great in potentially allowing us to use equipment.

Thanks,

Vin Gopal
