Thanks for the “heads up”!
Yes, it most certainly will affect Maclearie Park diving. But it is a necessary evil, happens almost everywhere. Looks like it is our turn.
However, I am surprised that one of the “drying” sites is on the marina parking lot. The marina was either paid off or they are doing backflips. See pic with my guesses as to the sites.
“Drying” (see article in OP) is a bit of a euphemism. I would expect more of a settling pond with a return flow pipe. That pipe won’t do much for the visibility either.
You have to take the bad with the good. They didn’t do regular channel maintenance, they just waited until they were forced to use the nuclear option. So be it.
I’m guessing that between the inlet itself, the RR Bridge, and Maclearie Park there will always be something diveable. If not, I’ll just drop down to Manasquan. I prefer SRI, but Manasquan is a great “second best”.
This is going to be interesting…

The drying station pretty much takes up all of the trailer parking next to the boat ramp...
