Help Save East Point Lighthouse –

Help save the NJ State/NJDEP owned East Point Lighthouse from the threat of erosion and government bureaucracy! Contact the Governor of New Jersey and the Commissioner of the NJ DEP and let them know the time is NOW to properly address the erosion at East Point and also offer a reasonable and workable management lease like given to the other New Jersey Lighthouses before it’s too late. The historic East Point Lighthouse and the Maurice River Historical Society that has managed the lighthouse for over 50 years both deserve to be treated with the same respect as the other NJ Lighthouses.
