Matunuck Erosion

[Bill L]

The Town wanted the sheet piling, to be installed at the edge of the road, to protect the road and water line from being undermined by erosion.

The opposing environmental groups are the ones attributed as saying the CRMC should develop a longterm plan to deal with rising sea levels.

The next proposal is to re-classify the shoreline as man-made, which will allow the property owners to apply for applications to install shoreline protection. Whether they partner with the Town or not to share costs, if approved, is not decided.

As you can see this is a very complicated issue. My intent here is to make sure the surfcasting community knows what is at stake and to monitor the situation.
