ALERT – COASTAL EROSION MEETING

Re: Coastal Erosion Meeting Notice

Representatives from the Army Corps of Engineers, the DEC and the Suffolk County DPW will be in attendance together with Legislator Ed Romaine and town officials. Realistic expectations for a solution to this erosion challenge will be the focus of the agenda.

Points you may wish to include in your letter:

South shore beaches are being refurbished, notably Jones Beach. If they can do it there, why don’t they take the same tactic for the North Fork? About 2 weeks ago,  Goldsmith’s Inlet was dredged and the sand dumped on nearby beaches. Why can’t they replenish the storm ravaged beaches using sand from dredging?
