Manasquan Beach Closed After Syringes Wash Ashore, Reopened After Safety Sweep

A popular Manasquan beach in New Jersey was temporarily closed after dozens of syringes washed ashore following heavy rain. Officials say about 60 syringes were found, prompting a beach sweep and a health department notification; swimmers were allowed back in after reevaluation, though more needle debris was reported and concerns linger about safety. Authorities believe the syringes washed ashore from sewer overflows, with many being insulin syringes used at home, and urged the public to report environmental emergencies or hazards.
