Original warning text

F/V Relentless Pursuit; Sandy Hook, NJ.
Sandy Hook, NJ.
1. During the evening of June 5, a privately-owned pleasure craft grounded at the tip of the Gateway National Park, Sandy Hook, NJ. The vessel is 50ft in length and is carrying 100 gallons of gasoline. USCG Sector New York contacted NOAA Duty Officer to report incident. Vessel had grounded on NPS lands in an area currently closed to the public due to on-going piping plover, oyster catcher, and tern nesting activities. Owner of vessel is in the process of making arrangements with Sea Tow to remove on-board gasoline this afternoon during low-tide. An attempt to tow the vessel off the beach will be made after the fuel has been removed. If effort to remove vessel is unsucessful, vessel will have to remain grounded until September which is the end of bird nexting season.
