To the Editor:

The letter “Questionable Credentials” by Cindy Zipf of Clean Ocean Action (online 1/5) continues to illustrate that that group’s leadership insists on distorting the facts to alarm residents of the Jersey Shore by preying on their fears.

She dismisses my attempt to bring understanding to the Rutgers study as “confusing, circular,” and added that I didn’t address her questions.
