New Jersey denies North Wildwood's steel bulkhead construction due to dune loss, prompting an appeal to appellate court.

New Jersey has denied permission for North Wildwood to build a steel bulkhead on a beach section where the dunes have completely disappeared due to storms. The state Department of Environmental Protection declared that no one is in imminent danger. However, Mayor Patrick Rosenello announced that the city will seek permission to build the barrier in appellate court, despite the state's warning that it may worsen erosion.
