We then began discussing and sharing about the June 7th Coastal Zone Management solutions

Notice of Intent--easement
We discussed setting up meetings with the beach associations to get feedback and questions from the Applied Coastal Research presentation. The North Scituate Beach Nourishment Project that is proposed is mixed sediment. Cobble has to be the right kind for the location.
Oceanside has issues due to overtopping and the wave energy.
We are in agreement that we need to prioritize our recommendations.
