WILDWOOD, NEW JERSEY - MAY 28: People walk along the beach a day before the start of Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer, in the shore community of Wildwood on May 28, 2021 in Wildwood, New Jersey.

Wildwood, like many beach communiti WILDWOOD, N.J. - A bulldozer began moving sand along a stretch of badly eroded beach Monday in a Jersey Shore town where the bitter fight over how to protect its rapidly shrinking shoreline has led to $33 million worth of litigation.Before the summer tourism season kicks off this weekend, North Wildwood hopes to repair dunes in the most heavily eroded section of its beach and restore beach access points to usable condition.

The state Department of Environmental Protection granted permission for emergency repairs last week.The town and the state have been fighting for years over how best to protect North Wildwood's shoreline as it waits to become the last part of the state to receive a beach replenishment project that is still at least two years away.The state has fined North Wildwood $12 million for past unauthorized work on its beaches that the state claims could actually worsen erosion.North Wildwood, in turn, is suing the state for $21 million, which it says is how much it has spent trucking sand to the shoreline over the past decade to try to keep up with erosion."We are happy to get this work completed soon," said Mayor Patrick Rosenello. "But this certainly doesn't fix the much larger issue, which is the lack of a beach nourishment project in North Wildwood."North Wildwood and its surrounding coastal neighbors have not received the periodic beach replenishment projects that most of the rest of the Jersey Shore has been getting for decades, due in part to the difficulty.
