While Ship Bottom’s 2021 beach badge sales declined over the previous year, the difference was almost made up this year in increased boat ramp revenue.

Council President Edward English, who presided over the borough council meeting Oct. 26 in the absence of Mayor William Huelsenbeck, said beach badge sales dropped by a little more than $15,000, from $981,486 in 2020 to $966,467 this past summer.
