During Tuckerton borough’s Oct. 3 council meeting, council voted unanimously to pass an ordinance modifying Wildlife Feeding (Chapter 253) code, citing several complaints throughout the town of people feeding pigeons and sea gulls.

“Part of the problem is ground feeding, when it’s not done properly, creates a whole host of issues. It brings in mice, rats, other infestations,” Councilman Keith Vreeland had explained when introducing the ordinance on Sept. 18.
