• Fletcher Lake Making a Historic Comeback (thecoaster.net) — Fletcher Lake, shared by Bradley Beach and Ocean Grove, is showing strong signs of ecological recovery thanks to years of local volunteer work, scientific monitoring, and coordinated management. Water quality, oxygen levels, and clarity are all improving, and plans are underway to stock the lake with fish in spring 2027, boosting both recreation and natural mosquito control for nearby residents.
