Property Owners Lead the Way on Long Island Beach Nourishment | Local Control

On this episode of the Local Control Podcast, host Peter Ravella sits down with Nathaniel Wienecke, board member of the North Sea Beach Colony Association on Long Island.  Nat and the association have invested years of effort and considerable funds to push for shoreline restoration along the Peconic Bay shoreline, including working with the Town of Southhampton to establish a special erosion control taxing district through which Nat and his neighbors paid the cost of a shoreline management project completed earlier this month. As sea levels continue to rise, beachfront owners are likely to play an increasing important role in shoreline management projects from design through permitting and construction.  See how it’s done on this episode of the Local Control Podcast.
