Ocean City, NJ - General Announcment

Post by kristinlia2271 » Wed Aug 21, 2024 3:27 pm

This is a general comment as I was on the Ocean City, NJ boardwalk a few weeks ago and people who work on the boardwalk said that come end of season the boardwalk tourist shops just dump their hermit crabs that don't sell onto the beach. There is no way they can survive and some surfers also said they see them roaming around in September.

Yes, this is unfortunately very true. My mom's best friend has a hosue in Sea Isle, NJ and has seen the big cages trashed in the dumpsters. One time she attempted to rescue any survivors but it was too late at that point. It is a major issue :(
