What: Shoreline Access 101: What You Need to Know
When: June 1, 5-6 p.m.
Where: Zoom
Once registered, you will be able to submit your questions about public shoreline access in advance. There will also be a Q&A at the end of the webinar.
“One of the CRMC’s main charges and ongoing efforts is to designate rights-of-way to the shore, but last year especially highlighted the need for more and improved shoreline public access in Rhode Island,” says Willis. “People were trying to get outside and away from crowds, and faced some challenges. It illustrated to the CRMC that our agency must work to designate more points of access all over the state. We look forward to reaching our goal of one right-of-way per every mile of coastline, and continuing to work with our state, local, private and nonprofit partners to enhance existing access points.”
