[SEMCO] Community Meeting to Discuss Coastal Change along the Truro and Wellfleet Coastline

[Cathrine Macort]

*Community Meeting to Discuss Coastal Change along the Truro and Wellfleet
Coastline, Monday August 19th from 4-6pm at the Wellfleet Council on Aging *

The Center for Coastal Studies is collaborating with the towns of Truro and
Wellfleet to characterize and quantify the natural dynamics of the town’s
Cape Cod Bay shoreline.  The study, funded by a grant from the
Massachusetts Bays Program, will identify sediment sources and sinks and
calculate the volume, rate and direction of sediment movement along this
section of the shore. This information is crucial to predicting future
changes to the position, shape and size of the shoreline, and will allow
the towns to identify vulnerable areas that may be subject to erosion.

On Monday, August 19th from 4-6 pm at the Wellfleet Council on Aging,
Center for Coastal Studies scientists and planning and conservation staff
from the towns of Truro and Wellfleet will provide an overview of the
study.   Truro and Wellfleet residents and summer visitors are encouraged
to participate and share information on their observations of historical
changes and extreme erosion events along this shoreline.

For additional information, please contact Pat Hughes, Center for Coastal
Studies at (508) 487 3623 ext, 121 or e-mail phughes at coastalstudies.org
