Dusk

on the Metedeconk River, Ocean County, NJ.

Under the influence of Hurricane Sandy, ocean waters directly infiltrated the south branch of the river at the area of the Metedeconk Bridge. Immediate impact of the hurricane on the river included a change in salinity of the river's ecosystem, as well as elevated contaminate levels caused by relevant water treatment facilities going temporarily off-line.The long-term impact of Hurricane Sandy on the river and its ecosystem remains an area of study. source: Wikipedia
