All but three hazardous channel markers in the Intracoastal Waterway off Long Beach Island have been temporarily fixed by the Coast Guard following a vocal call-to-action from recreational boaters after two separate boating accidents occurred in local waters Memorial Day weekend.

The ICW is a 3,000-mile inland waterway running from Boston south along the Atlantic seaboard, around the southern tip of Florida and around the Gulf Coast to Brownsville, Texas. It runs through bay areas west of LBI.
