Hello...there...

Hi John.

We in MA do have an existing organization that has been involved in both the fight fof Plymouth Beach and more importantly has been coodinating the overall beach access effort in the State for many years. The organization is the 60 year old M Beach Buggy Assn. MBBA has a legal fund. Donations are always appreciated.

Two years ago MBBA hosted a meeting with many Beach Managers where we brought in a DC Lawyer to eduate them on some of the cutting edge programs and tehniques being used to keep beaches open up and down the coast. Many members thought this was a waste of mony. This year, the Sandy Neck Beach Manager after working for over a year, was able to use some of that info and create an esort program so that self contained campers could be escorted by Tern Nests. This movement of campers made more room for day trippers and non self contained anglers.

One month ago MBBA had the group from Plymouth in to meet withour BOD. MBBA supported them with a small donation and is developing a working relationship with these people who also are sick of loosing their beach access.

I predict that after this coming weekends MBBA Banquet and Elections, the fight to regain our beaches will get "kicked up a notch".

More will be revealed soon.
