A boat enters the Manasquan Inlet in Manasquan, N.J., Oct. 20, 2022. One proposed solution to flooding in the region is a $16 billion plan by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to address back-bay flooding along the Jersey Shore — a major source of damage during Superstorm Sandy that was overshadowed by oceanfront flooding. It would build storm surge gates across the mouths of major inlets, like Manasquan, and install similar gates in the middle of bays to stop waves from surging across the waterway into homes.
