Tarballs Collected From Windward Beach, Brick NJ

Yesterday I went to Summerfest at Windward Beach in Brick NJ.

When I went down to the beach I found tarballs washing ashore.

I collected a few and had my wife take some video.

I also notified the police who stated they would contact recreation.

When I viewed the video my wife had taken there was no video of the shore line so I went back to the beach today to get some video.

I noticed that "recreation" had done little more than rake up the tar balls and even more tar balls where washing ashore.

There are literally hundreds of tar balls on the beach.

I collected more and thought to myself. "OK, they know these tar balls are washing up on the beach and are just cleaning them up and keeping quiet and not notifying the public. I wonder what is along the beach where they are not cleaning up?"

I walked down to the beach to a secluded are of the shore line and I found a monster tarball the size of my head.
