Loss of Roberts Pond

It seems to me there are quite a few misguided individuals in that town. There is no way beavers built that.
State officials have said in the past that initial indications are that Roberts Pond was an abandoned cranberry bog that transformed into a vernal pond. Little Egg Harbor residents have pushed back on that claim. They fear officials are trying to designate the pond as a cranberry bog since it is the only form of a water body which can be drained in the state without obtaining a permit.
“Why are the beavers in there, then?” Bourguignon said. “Are they there just to take a swim?”
And this is even better.
She added that Geographic Information System (GIS) experts had to be brought in to determine the ownership of the property.

If I owned property on the pond personally I would now be applying for a tax reassessment. Without a pond/lake their property value has declined. That's a direct result of their towns actions to boot. There's a ton more to this story that we haven't heard yet I'm sure.
The historic topo shows a pond downstream of the current berm, probably due to the highway. The 1930 shows that pond and what looks like 2 bog's/field's separated by berms where the disputed water body is. Looks just like a manmade cranberry bog.

I found the camera paragraph quite interesting. I am glad I did not go there and check the place out yet.
