[SEMCO] New "Focal Points" Fact Sheet

[Sheri DeRosa]

Greetings -

While it may not be surprising to learn that coastal property owners --
particularly those with property located within a few hundred feet from
shore -- face risks from flooding, a recent study found that,
nationwide, the risk of damage from erosion is as great as that posed by
flooding.  For more information, read WHOI Sea Grant’s latest fact sheet
"Evaluation of Coastal Erosion Hazards: Results from a National Study
and a Massachusetts Perspective” -- available on the web at
http://www.whoi.edu/seagrant/education/focalpoints/index.html.
