The investigation is supported by the Southern Regional Medical Examiner’s Office and the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office.

NJ Fisherman Catches Rare 5.5-Foot White Shark Off Atlantic City Coast

Travis Bogin, a fisherman from Little Egg Harbor, unexpectedly caught a 5.5-foot white shark while fishing off the coast of Atlantic City. Initially setting out to catch a thresher shark, Bogin was surprised to discover a white shark on his line near his boat. He managed to capture photos and a video of the shark, which he described as a bucket list experience, before safely releasing it back into the ocean. On the same day, he also caught a 10-foot dusky shark, noting that encounters with such rare species are extraordinary events in his fishing career.

City of Cape May to Expand Promenade, Build New Park in Comprehensive Capital Project

Cape May is planning several infrastructure improvements, including road reconstructions, an expansion of the Promenade, the start of Lafayette Street Park construction, and a new police station.

An additional $1.1 million was previously approved for the capital budget. Future bonds totaling $6.5 million are also projected for early 2025.
