RI Beach Access Threat
I just received the following in an email. If you like to fish Napatree Point, Sandy point, or if you simply fear the loss of any beach access, it would be in your best interest to attend this meeting! I know a similar proposal to black access to these same beaches came along last fall that received zero press. Fortunately that attempt didn’t go anywhere.
The Westerly Harbor Commission is considering banning public access to Rhode Island beaches and ponds (Napatree Point and Sandy Point) under their control.
The idea of restricting beach and any anchorage access is unacceptable to all responsible boaters. If this is one of your recreational choices you may wish to be heard.
Their next meeting is at 6:00pm, Thursday, April 12th at the Westerly Police Headquarters Conference Room, 60 Airport Road, Westerly, RI.
