Marshfield - Duxbury Coastal Resiliency (Beach Nourishment) Zoom Meeting


Time: January 20, 2021 7:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Location: Remote ZOOM meeting


The Towns of Marshfield and Duxbury were awarded a grant in the Fall of 2019 from Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management (CZM) for the design and permitting of beach and dune nourishment projects at vulnerable locations along the Towns’ east facing shorelines. The proposed nourishment projects will improve shoreline resiliency by helping to maintain and improve the elevation and width of the existing beaches in order to strengthen the Towns’ existing approach to management of the shoreline, which includes regular maintenance and repair of existing seawalls and revetments.
Letters were sent out to shorefront property owners in the Fieldston Beach, Sunrise Beach, Bay Avenue Beach and Gurnet Road areas of Marshfield and Duxbury in November, requesting easements for beach nourishment and maintenance.


An online public outreach meeting is scheduled for January 20, 2021 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM, which will focus on the requested beach nourishment easements and a project update.
