Belmar Geese Mitigation Fact Sheet
Why not just kill the damn geese eggs. The rest is BS.
Eye can’t wait to blind some geese! I’m buying some lazers on Amazon tonight.
After we blind them do they die off from not being able to find food?
Not mowing the grass between lake and path will make it look unsightly in no time. Those grasses grow very high. You won’t even see the lake in no one at all. Save money and Cull the flock!!!!
When I was a kid Silver lake was surrounded by cement and rock rip rap. It allowed access to fish, ice skate, etc. to the lake. Why that was taken out I don’t know. Allowing weeds and other vegetation to grow as a buffer is unsightly and is a haven for mosquitoes, rodents and everything else. We are sacrificing beauty and accessibility for humans to stop the geese. Keep Silver Lake neat and trimmed and explore the other options in the report like LED lights, etc.
Kill the EGGS
If we kill the eggs, they’ll just lay more. That’s just a short term band aid.
You kill the eggs by coating them, not destroying or removing them “Oh Great Anonymous Bloviating King of The Blog With All The Answers and Zero Common Sense and Limited Factual Information and Lack of Context”.
By the time the Canada Geese realize the eggs aren’t hatching, the breeding season is over and there’s no time to lay more eggs “Eggstein”. Do some real research and some true work in getting to know the facts like the folks on The Belmar Environmental Commission did, instead of your constant perceived truths after being triggered by Joe D. every time you feel the need to comment on something you know very little about. You’ve single handedly ruined The Blog because your hobby is to comment on anything and everything and constantly argue points you know ZERO about ad nauseum.
I gave up on you when you started to make everything personal with Joe D. and me and others for no reason other than your ego and opinion. You fancy yourself as an intellectual but are anything but that. Especially when you made the ignorant statement months ago about how a revolution in this country isn’t possible because our military would squash it in a minute. Considering less than one percent of the population are on active duty and it’s the very military- as well as police- that end up not following the unlawful orders of the autocratic politicians to turn their guns on their fellow citizens, and they begin to throttle the crooked officials in charge thus accelerating the very revolution you say can never happen.
While you were trapped in your corporate cubicle in 1998, I was at Marine Corps Base Quantico listening to the guest speaker at the graduation ceremony for Amphibious Warfare School telling the Majors and Lieutenant Colonels graduating about how they should never lower their rifle sights on their own fellow Americans if given those orders. The General who gave that address was well versed and experienced in witnessing revolutions firsthand. Unlike you, he was a duty expert who actually lived what he purported and went on cumulative facts and not kneejerk triggered statements or feelings after getting a few facts that align with his own grandiose sense of self and opinion.
I have a feeling you may be a former candidate in town who got their @$$ handed to them in a recent election because all your rhetoric began about the same time that “individual” came on the scene and your vitriol has increased fivefold since last November’s election results. Maybe that’s just a coincidence, like the whales washing up dead en masse the very month the soundings started and no longer washing up dead when the soundings stopped. Either way, I wish you would stop your “soundings” as they are killing The Blog.
Bravo Joe. Thank you
The rip rap was installed for shoreline stabilization. Most of it was removed and replaced with bio logs. The logs made of mostly coconut fiber provided an anchoring place for many species of plant life. When the ducks and geese ate most of the plants netting was placed over it all in an attempt to protect it.
I believe that all this was done to control the geese. Not sure though cause I’m old too. There’s a way to rid ourselves from the geese but no one wants to do it. Best of luck to the environmental committee!
This geese issue is becoming comical. A year in and this council hasn’t done anything to solve this basic issue. (Deleted By Editor.)
It’s hardly a basic issue. Many towns have been dealing with this for decades. There are far too many of them to control. Trap and remove them and then control the smaller population by destroying the nests. Chasing them from one lake to another is fruitless. Just job security for the dog owner.
It’s a basic issue for towns that cull the flock.
A year? We’ve been dealing with this geese problem for like 20 years. Trying to pretend that it’s only been a year, now that’s comical.
Wrong.
When Doherty destroyed the lake after sandy he made it more hospitable for the geese to lay eggs and nest. They are now out of control. The lake is also almost a swamp now.
Been here for over 60 years. Never had this much of a problem before they removed the concrete.
Sad to hear the lake will soon become a light show at night. And what happens when this plan that took so long to come up with, doesn’t work. The mayor has his fall girl.
Doherty hasn’t been mayor for like 8 years. Sandy was 11 years ago. You’re still sticking by your assertion that this problem has only been around for a year?
One might start to believe that your frustration with town leadership is one sided. Unless, of course, you were this vocally upset with the previous administration over this issue. Something tells me you were not.
Thanks for the BEC research on the geese matter
Don’t geese fly? What’s preventing them from flying over the unsightly weed filled berm to enter and exit the lake?
They’ll be in the lake. You just won’t be able to see them.
