6/22/2006Another Vessel Deployment Slated for the Townsends Inlet Reef SiteA 31-foot steel-hulled vessel is scheduled to be the third vessel deployed on the Townsends Inlet Reef, part of the division's Artificial Reef Program. Located 3.8 nautical miles southeast of Townsends Inlet in Cape May County, the Townsends Inlet Reef is the newest addition to New Jersey's 15-site reef network.
The vessel began life as U.S. Coast Guard cutter. It later served as a tow boat used by Budget Towing, a Tow Boat US franchise, which donated the vessel. The cost of the prep work and towing expenses will be covered by the proceeds from the recent "Townsends Inlet Reef Fluke Tournament". Local businesses and anglers from Avalon and Stone Harbor area organized the tournament. The target date for deployment is July 6 but is subject to weather and sea conditions. For further information regarding the deployment of the vessel contact Hugh Carberry at 609-748-2022. Click Here To Return To The Previous Page |
