Access for Mobile Sport Fishing Vehicles in Island Beach State Park from A23 south to the jetty will reopen at 7am on Monday, August 8. The area had been temporarily closed to MSFVs to help protect the first ocean side nest of piping plovers in more than 25 years. The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife, the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ, and all others involved with the management and protection of these state endangered birds wish to express thanks and appreciation to permit holders for respecting the closure.
