[SEMCO] Fascinating Presentation on Duxbury Beach

[Jim O'Connell]

DUXBURY BEACH IS A TREASURE!

This 5 mile long barrier beach provides outstanding pedestrian and ORV 
receational opportunities, important wildlife habitat for endangered and 
threatened species, and storm and flood protection to bay areas -- all 
while moving and migrating landward and seaward.

How did Duxbury Beach form?
What will it look like in the future?
What is happening to the barrier today and what management measures are 
being taken to ensure its value?
