The report made other recommendations after this “redefinition of the Rhode Island shore to its historic limits”: Among other steps, the state should try to identify funding for the Coastal Resources Management Council and Department of Environmental Management to support shore access, law enforcement and education work with the attorney general to enforce illegal shore signage and boost CRMC’s ability to designate access points to the shore.This is the tide calendar for Little Compton in Rhode Island, United States of America. “A buffer zone of 10 feet landward uses the historical ox cart width example and also accommodates testimony received of two people walking safely, above the seaweed line, along the shore side by side approaching another two people walking towards them.” ![]() “A consensus from Commission members was reached (with the Rhode island Attorney General’s Office abstaining), on restoring and using the historical seaweed line with a reasonable buffer zone landward of 10 feet,” the report says. The commission, in not so many words, agreed. While property owners have threatened to sue over a taking of private property, the only thing that’s been taken is Rhode Islanders’ constitutional rights for the past 40-odd years. It would simply be a restoration and a guarantee of a right that’s been there all along, sometimes thwarted by property owners and a faulty court decision. It would represent an expansion in principle over the mean high tide line, too, because it would guarantee some form of shore access at all points of a typical non-stormy day.īut to people who favor access, the legislation wouldn’t be an “expansion” of anything. One study found that the mean high tide line was an average of 19 to 20 meters closer to the sea than the last high tide swash line on a Rhode Island beach. The recently introduced legislation would do away with that as a boundary for access rights using the “recognizable high tide line” instead would represent an expansion of access purely by square footage over using the mean high tide line. Nevertheless, shore towns, state regulators ( reluctantly) and private property owners ( enthusiastically) still often point to the mean high tide line. ![]() ![]() How can you collect seaweed or pass along the shore, some argue, if the state is using a line that’s underwater the majority of the day on some beaches? Rhode Islanders have had some form of access to the shore since the state’s royal charter, but in 1986, the state got specific, saying people had rights including but not limited to passage along the shore, leaving the shore to swim, fishing and collecting seaweed. Some shore access advocates say that not only was the Ibbison decision bad, but it was effectively overturned by a 1986 state constitutional amendment. ![]()
