Cape Cod's Crumbling Coastline: The Waves of Change at Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge

from New England Weekend · host WBZ-AM

Erosion on Cape Cod is certainly nothing new, but in recent years, the Atlantic Ocean has been chewing up more and more of the shoreline. These tidal troubles are forcing communities to think ahead to a future without some of their most beloved shoreline properties, and that problem is front and center at the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge, where the consistent erosion has forced the Fish and Wildlife Service to demolish their long-standing Visitor Center. Refuge Manager Rick Nye talks with Nichole this week about their decision to take down the building, his concerns for protected wildlife, and how they're trying to get ahead of Mother Nature.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
