Sea level rise and erosion are making beaches and coastlines more narrow, and that may make shoreline access in some places around Rhode Island more challenging in the years to come.

Join us on this shoreline access walk in Barrington and learn how a Rhode Island Sea Grant-funded research team with specialties in GIS mapping, natural resource economics, coastal geology, and law have been studying this issue in the East Bay and what they have found. Bring your shoreline access questions!

Speakers include:

Jesse Reiblich, University of Rhode Island Department of Marine Affairs
Emi Uchida, URI Department of Environmental and Natural Resource Economics
Nathan Vinhateiro, URI Coastal Institute
Emily Hall, Coastal Resources Management Council
Nate Merrill, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Teresa Crean, Town of Barrington

Discussion topics:

Climate change and implications for public access
Shoreline access improvements in the town of Barrington
How CRMC is interpreting and enforcing RI’s new shoreline access legislation
Legal challenges to the shoreline access law and what's to come
