What is the Proposed West of Shinnecock Inlet Interim Project?
The West of Shinnecock Inlet Interim study addresses the 4000 ft area immediately west of Shinnecock Inlet, which is subject to severe erosion, and frequent emergency action by the Town, County, and State. The plan for this area includes beachfill in a configuration similar to that for Westhampton and Fire Island. Construction of this interim project will allow for inlet sand to be placed further downdrift to encourage sand bypassing.
