With video / FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP - In an isolated corner of southwest New Jersey, a community is slowly dying.Eighteen homes and a small beach line the Delaware Bay in Sea Breeze, Cumberland County. They're surrounded by water, marshes and the sound of waves lapping against the land. People come here to crab, fish, hunt, paint the scenery or simply find solitude. It doesn't appear on most maps. Sea Breeze is not the sort of place you stumble across accidentally.New Jersey doesn't usually let waterfront communities disappear; federal and state governments spend millions annually to protect Atlantic Coast beaches. But Sea Breeze is different.A $1.7 million seawall constructed here by the state Department of Environmental Protection has failed less than two years after construction. The homes are open to floodwaters that top the seawall.
