• Syringes that shut a New Jersey beach likely came from sewer overflow, not ocean dumping (thecooldown.com) — Swimming at Manasquan's beach was briefly shut down after more than 60 medical syringes washed ashore, but reopened once officials and county health inspectors deemed it safe. State environmental experts now believe the debris likely came from sewer overflow, highlighting aging infrastructure and the importance of proper syringe disposal to protect local beaches, tourism, and public safety.
