What Does the Commission Do
The Nahant Conservation Commission was established to protect the town's natural resources in a regulatory and advisory manner. The Commission is responsible for administering the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 312, section 40), acting in an advisory capacity with regard to the Nahant Floodplains Zoning Bylaw (Annual Town Meeting, 1979), environmental planning, accepting gifts of land and money for conservation purposes, acquiring grant money for town acquisition of open space and advising other town boards on environmental concerns. |
Shoreline Engineering
- There is no erosion
problem until a structure is built on the shoreline. Beach erosion is
a common expected event, not a natural disaster.
- Construction by
man on the shoreline causes shoreline changes.
- Shoreline engineering
protects the interests of very few, often at a very high cost in Federal
and state dollars.
- Shoreline engineering
destroys the beach it was intended to save.
- The cost of saving
beach property through shoreline engineering is usually greater than
the value of the property to be saved.
- Once you begin
shoreline engineering, you can't stop.
