Coastal Regulations Protect the Public Interest in Beaches
- “The regulations that DEP and conservation commissions are responsible for applying to a project are intended to protect the public interest in the resource areas, such as beaches. They consider the whole 'system,' not one property at a time,” she said in an e-mail. “Beaches, for example, exist because the coastal system is running its natural course. If the system is interrupted significantly by sequestering the sand [in revetments] that creates beaches, then the public interest is harmed. Imagine Cape Cod without beaches.” - quote from Dee Dee Holt, a former chair of the Chatham Conservation Commission in article in Wicked Local Cape Cod
