Shoreline Resilience and Inlet Management
Shoreline Resilience and Inlet Management Principal Investigators Steve Elgar, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Britt Raubenheimer, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Summary Many coastal ponds on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and mainland Massachusetts shorelines are drained intentionally (“breached”) to lower pond water levels that threaten homes and to promote healthy habitats. However, breaches often close before…
