Everyone is so concerned for the tourist beaches of NJ but no one cares about nor monitors the Delaware Bay beaches. Here, anything goes and this once magnificent ecosystem is slowly being polluted by the local, county and state governments. Too bad because eventually it will impact the ocean water quality and medical waste that can be picked up will be the least of the tourist's worries.
