New Jersey's North Wildwood has ended a ten-year dispute with the state over beach erosion. The city will drop a $30 million lawsuit for sand reimbursement, and the state will cancel $12 million in fines for unauthorized repairs. North Wildwood must contribute $1 million to future beach replenishment and pay $700,000 to a state water fund. The settlement, subject to public comment, aims to protect future shorelines and ease regulations for permits.
