Town Tries to Justify Seawall by Changing the Rules
- "The town of South Kingstown [Rhode Island] has formally asked the state Coastal Resources Management Council to reclassify a portion of the eroding Matunuck shoreline from Type 1 Coastal Headlands, Bluffs and Cliffs to Type 2 Manmade Shoreline. [...] The move comes as the town faces mounting criticism for a plan to build a 200-foot steel pile wall along Matunuck Beach Road [...] Save The Bay, the Surfrider Foundation, the owners of the Ocean Mist and Tara’s Tipperary Tavern and a number of Matunuck Beach Road residents have all formally objected to that plan." - excerpt from article in the South County Independent.
