Jumping Brook and Shark River to Shark River Bay.
|
The Shark River starts in Hockhokson swamp in Earle Naval Weapons (upper left hand corner). It passes the Monmouth County landfill on Shafto Road, travels southeast under Route 33. to the Garden State Parkway where it connects to the Revytown Brook. It eventually enters the Shark River Bay at the Brighton Ave. Bridge in Shark River Hills, Neptune.
The Jumping Brook, starts in Wayside,Ocean Township and Tinton Fall's Fox Chase development.
It travels southeast through Neptune where it connects with the Shark River and enters the bay at the Brighton Ave. Bridge.
The storm water from all of the surrounding neighborhoods, golf courses and roads empty into the rivers and eventually the bay. This runoff is full of pollutants and sediment that contaminate and fill in the bay.
Cigarette butts, cans, bottles, fertilizer, oil and petroleum products,grass clippings,leaves, feces of humans and animals all make there way down these streams and dump into Shark River.
