Pier Deterioration Continued



For those that think there will be a quick-fix option for Hoboken's collapsing piers, please examine the above picture. Microorganisms are eating away at the wooden piles and supports of our piers. And for those that think this is only a problem near Steven’s (most of the collapses have taken place there), I took the picture while paddling at low tide on the east side of the Tea Building. About six feet of concrete and newly paved walkways sit atop the wood.
