[Adopted by Ord. No. 22-1998 (§ 14-8 of the Revised General Ordinances)]
It has been determined that the presence of large numbers of
migratory and wild waterfowl on or around ponds, lakes and the beachfront
within the Borough of Spring Lake creates a public health nuisance
due to the accumulation of droppings in and around said ponds, lakes
and the beachfront, which is inimical to the health and general welfare
of the public. The purpose of this article is to prevent such conduct
that may attract such migratory and wild waterfowl to the properties
within the Borough.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Includes those nondomesticated species of birds commonly
known as "swans," "geese," "brant," "seagulls," "river and sea ducks"
and any other waterfowl that generally follows a seasonal migration
pattern.
No person or persons shall feed, cause to be fed or provide
food for migratory or wild waterfowl within the Borough of Spring
Lake on lands either publicly or privately owned.
This article shall not be construed to prohibited humane acts
towards migratory or wild waterfowl in individual cases, such as temporary
nurturing of a wounded bird on one's own premises.
No person or persons shall create or foster any conditions or
allow any conditions to exist or continue which results in a congregation
or congestion of migratory or wild waterfowl or in an accumulation
of waterfowl feces or droppings on private or public property within
the Borough of Spring Lake creating a public health nuisance or in
any manner threatening the health, safety and welfare of the public
and/or the waterfowl.
The Police Department, Code Enforcement Officer and the Board
of Health are hereby authorized and directed to enforce the provision
of this article.
