Collecting Tar balls on Windward Beach Brick NJ

After noticing tar balls on Windward Beach In Brick NJ On July 8th I took videos, samples and informed the police.

The next day on July 9th, I returned because my original video didn't show the shoreline. I took more video of the tar ball collection.

Shortly after this video I found a very large tar ball on the beach almost the size of my head.

Alex,YOU should STOP picking those tar balls up without GLOVES Oil is verrrry toxic.

like the beaches in new jersey weren't filthy already. sorry but I don't see any tar balls here, just rocks and other crap. I grew up on the beach in and you'd see all sorts of nasty stuff washing up on occasion. And the oil stained bird feather??? You're seeing things that aren't there (yet anyway)

Thank you, Alexhiggins. I don't know what it's like to live on a beach, so you're kind of my (our) eyes and ears for this kind of thing that's been going on. You guys--the folks along the beaches--know what beaches look like. Your eyes can recognize the tar balls, where I'd just think they were black rocks. But you know what the rocks and sand are supposed to look like. So, thank you for posting this video and letting us know. The human race is in this together, my brother. :-)

@FoundingFathersSayNO actually not really and the water on the west coast blows... its very cold.

The toxic waters and coasts are becoming a massive dead zone. The oil will continue to spread far and wide due to ocean currents. If oil is present, the highly poisonous dispersant Corexit is present as well, with over 1 million gallons sprayed to sink the oil out of sight...but it is still there, and continuing to poison ocean life. How many millions will be silently poisoned by toxic fumes and rainfall while officials deem areas "safe" to avoid panic?. May God help us all.

Yes and the first thing that you have to do to defeat the new world order antichrist beast system is to know Jesus and be prepared to reject their mark of the beast chip in your forehead or right hand. For if you take it; you will be forever doomed and cursed by God!! Read Revelation 14:9-11 !!

@moses737:Moses YOU said it right,EVERYTHING in your comment is true.It is most unfortunate,MOST of the American people,are to brainwashed to see the truth.In America today,when you tell the truth,you are labeled a Conspiracy Theorist..When you talk about what Government does wrong,when they pass laws to take more rights from the people,you are labeled,a Right Wing Extremist.

Just think what could happen in the next 30 days!? It could be littered with all kinds of deadly chemicals and debris. And the new world order antichrist beast system that is made up of the International Bankers/Oil Barons and their illuminati and Freemasonry kingpins planned this catastrophy as they blew up that oil well to take more power and control over the American people like they did on 911!! As they wanted their wars in the mddle east!! And next a larger war!! and next; their beast chip!

I used to live in this area. This beach is on the bay, and miles away from the nearest ocean access, likely about 10 miles the one way and 7 the other, though the 7 mile route would involve traveling through a narrow canal.

As much as I'd like to blame this on the Gulf oil disaster, it would seem to me that if that was the case the coastal beaches would be covered first.
