Thursday was a calm November day in North Wildwood, New Jersey, but Rob Fischer was still concerned about the beach near his home that was slowly being washed away.

"If we have another storm , definitely you can tell by the erosion, it's going to completely take away our beaches," said Fischer, who has lived full-time in North Wildwood for three years.

Fischer's concerns amplified after a project led by the Army Corps of Engineers and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection was canceled.

North Wildwood suffered severe erosion again from recent storms in August and last month.

"We're desperately needing to have these beaches replenished," Fischer said.
