Everything that goes viral goes to 💩

[@mkhanman12345]

Yup. Ticking time bomb.

[@lstruble9848]

I went to Belmar yesterday and quite honestly, the water was truly sparkling clear like shown in this video. Beautiful but the water was still chilly 🥶

[@jerseykevin27]

Well there go, there's the actual answer. Cold water tends to be a lot cleaner. The warm Caribbean simply has no Rivers to dirty it.

[@kryptoniteKJ]

They do bring up a good point, to plant oysters in appropriate places along the coast to prevent erosion and clean the water

[@sibhuskyguy]

just because it looks clean doesn't mean it is.. quotes from Business Insider about a lake in Galicia, Spain.. "Instagrammers are being drawn to a vibrant turquoise lake in Galicia, Spain. But the lake is actually a toxic dump full of hazardous chemicals from an old mine."

[@eddyvideostar]

To Sib, Selassie! Truth.

[@RAVEN-t8i]

Also, 0:55 when listing the marine life the lifeguard was like “ Hmmm should I include sharks too? Nahh”😆. Obviously he didn’t want to include sharks on purpose , which I am sure love to swim in the clear water as much as everyone else 🦈 🦈 🦈

[@sunmoonstars0369]

Jersey shore water is typically very clean.

[@mrmrlee]

This still won't stop all the doom and gloomers from saying the sky is falling, I live in NY state and we have more wildlife now than in the past 28 years owning our home. I remember as a kid how polluted the tri state area was, it's way better now!

[@nelia039]

What??? Lol this is a result of actually caring about your environment? The naysayers will never recognize this… also no one EVER said sky is falling(we would be truly fucked then).

[@mrmrlee]

@@nelia039 Yeah true, I was thinking about the movie Chicken Little. Good movie BTW.

[@darrenmcclellan9869]

Clear AF and Cold AF.

[@justmejenny7986]

And now it's going to have tons of people flocking there.

[@Patrick-kt5mc]

If the water is really cold, probably not.

[@jerseykevin27]

The lack of rain actually seemed like the actual answer to the clean water because naturally when it rains all the mud gets washed from the rivers naturally into the oceans. The Hudson River was dirty and muddy when Hudson himself discovered it.

[@pohanahawaii]

🏖 It's all of the reasons listed. Taking care of the ocean and environment paid off in spades with beautiful clear water, more sea life and people spending time there, spending money, enriching local businesses.

[@lonbecks]

Good. Want it? PROTECT IT.

[@NoPrivateProperty]

environment is foundation of economy. strict regulations necessary to preserve our natural wealth. business activity is irrelevant

[@BoltRM]

Business will follow. There's a 💩 ton of money to be made in environment cleaning & management.

[@NoPrivateProperty]

Watch out for the Lion Fish coming north.

Not so sure about that..

Memories Belmar 1981

[@Wasupup]

Green bluish color. It’s the reflection from the sky bouncing off the sand below, the water has no color.

[@MH-fb5kr]

BRAVO❗️

[@DreamDosage]

lack of rain and storms... obviously

[@cooljets]

I tried Bayonne but it sucked.

The ocean beaches in California are disgusting

[@user-uh7po7cz3x]

Jersey charges too much for beach passes. Likewise they have their cops running around asking to sniff your drinks. I only go to the beach after Labor day so as not to pay the rip off artists in the State.

[@nessapainter]

Has NYC ever stopped dumping all sorts of drek (including sea potatoes) into its rivers and therefore allowing it to flow into New Jersey's coastal waters?

[@donduckensen441]

Don’t come I heard the NY water is even cleaner, plz stay home

[@anthonyjurkiewicz292]

Who would want to go there?? It's f-ing NJ. Please stay where you are. Nah Germzy.

[@zcvxs]

Soo beautiful

[@Moondoggy1941]

Cold water keeps people out of the water, most people wear sunscreen, sunscreen clouds the water.

[@Cwgrlup]

Clearly these people have never been to the South Pacific. This water isn’t clear, it’s just not as dirty.

[@dens3096]

I don’t see anything remotely close to Caribbean or Miami Beach 😂 NJ beaches are dump gray waters 🤮

[@franklinhernandez683]

Believe me it's not the environmental thing that clean that water is the fact that people don't go in there

[@67judge]

Don’t question it. Just enjoy 😅it!

[@Mr.M600]

Soon as you move away from NyC the water gets clear.

[@bcask61]

Wait until Snooki goes in. The bacteria levels will rise dramatically.

[@SJoiseyKid]

It hasn't rained. When it rains all the drain water (trash, pee poo, dirt) will cloud it back up.

[@michaelhayes8556]

Shoulda kept that on the low

[@nelia039]

I found another report on this from 2 years ago 😅

[@tcreate.s]

Looks like a luxury day spa, but feels like shattering your teeth.

[@williambarry8015]

Sounds like a really strong Gulfstream current.

[@dayeightfloyd5495]

That’s exactly what it is and nothing else.

[@williambarry8015]

@@dayeightfloyd5495 hope that doesn't mean a bad hurricane season🤞🤞🙏🙏

[@kyleegarcia5569]

Lake Michigan is crystal clear in my area right now too but it’s because of zebra mussel invasion. Not good for the ecosystem.

[@franklinhernandez683]

Look at this they actually making a commercial really about this people can't afford to go to the beach Harley used to be crowded with people hundreds and hundreds of people 67 years ago that place sucks is what it does because then you have to go home through the traffic and the neighborhoods and the high cost of living in New Jersey

[@toddjones1403]

It’s global warming….

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

They just explained that their are multiple factors at play . Whatever the reason it’s beautiful

[@nelia039]

Lol oh no flatearthers strike again

[@BoltRM]

Could it be water from northern melting + the shifting currents of the oceans & wind?

[@nelia039]

@@BoltRM I suspect something more serious and it’s been critical for years now. The AMOC may very well be collapsing.

[@BoltRM]

@@nelia039Makes sense. Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation These currents are carried in a large "global conveyor belt," which includes the AMOC. AMOC stands for Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The AMOC circulates water from north to south and back in a long cycle within the Atlantic Ocean. What would happen if the AMOC collapses? Without the AMOC, the Northern Hemisphere would get colder, and the southern hemisphere would get warmer, though by a lesser degree . (Feb 20, 2024) How soon will the AMOC collapse? According to a study published in Nature in 2018, the buoyancy of the Atlantic Current has decreased by 15 percent over the past 70 years. Another more recent research estimated that the point of no return could occur before 2095. (Feb 21, 2024)

[@mmartin2924]

Nope, nope, nope, and nope. All wrong reasons. The only thing that is happening is the Gulfstream which travels up the Atlantic coast from the Caribbean, creates swirls off of the stream, which travel to the coast. That's all. No EPA regulation. Sorry to disappoint.

[@michaelanthony5509]

Not mandates

[@franklinhernandez683]

There's nothing crystal clear about the Jersey shore the only thing that's Crystal clear is the amount of money you need just to hop into that Waterford half an hour I'm going to traffic paying tolls just to get to your house stop playing high taxes where you live won't let you cool off after the show sucks they're doing this because no one's going there that's why

[@user-ux8hg8bk3e]

This is just propaganda just to boast the aleeady expensive prices.

[@mrmrlee]

So water is made clear through propaganda? Cool story Bro.
