fishing boat with three people on board ran aground over the weekend at the southern tip of
Island Beach State Park – and is still there.
The scallop boat named BEAR was on its way back to the docks at
Viking Village near Barnegat Light early Saturday when it got stuck on a sand
bar.
According to the Coast Guard, the captain and two crew
members were not hurt.
The boat remains stuck though. The Coast Guard
removed over 2,300 gallons of fuel to mitigate the chance of pollution. Crews also removed and saved
the boats' catch -- 11 bags of scallops
Future plans include
to refloat the vessel once weather permits.
A representative from Viking Village on Long Beach Island says
they will try again Tuesday. Conditions Monday are just not safe enough
to put people near the stranded vessel.
