MARGATE’S LOSS IS LONG BEACH ISLAND’S BEACH GAIN

Now that Margate has scrubbed a big dune project in its community, a massive beach fill project in Long Beach Island is next up.  State officials confirm that Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company will conduct a big beach fill on that island starting in about four weeks.  Two dredges will pump sand from a borrow area offshore to replenish their beaches.
