• Henlopen Light's Fate Threatens Old Barney (thesandpaper.net) — Barnegat Lighthouse's survival a century ago hinged on how storms, shipwrecks, and shifting currents threatened to topple it, much like what happened to Delaware's Cape Henlopen Light. This historical deep dive explains why saving Old Barney mattered so much to New Jersey and shipping interests, and how engineers and state leaders raced to protect the Barnegat Light coastline.
• If Greeting Dolphins, a Black Sabbath Riff Can Work Miracles (thesandpaper.net) — Recent strong winds drove Barnegat Bay to a record low tide at Barnegat Light, and similar blowout conditions could return, affecting fishing and bay access. The column also highlights current bluefish and striper action, dangerous beach cutaways near Holgate, and stepped-up conservation officer patrols at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park and local boat launches.
• Local Ultra-Marathoner Will Cover New Jersey Top to Bottom (thesandpaper.net) — A former Barnegat Light fishing captain turned ultra-marathoner is preparing to run 200 miles from High Point to Cape May Point to raise money for his Striding Forward nonprofit. The Tuckerton resident hopes to finish in under 50 hours while spotlighting access to youth and veteran athletics across New Jersey, building on prior ultra-distance successes.
