About This Event
Public use of the shoreline has been an integral part of life around Narragansett Bay dating back to before the chartering of Rhode Island in 1963. While the state constitution preserves the “privileges of the shore” for all Rhode Islanders, a decades-old court decision causes confusion for both the public and coastal property owners about where, exactly, the public can exercise their shoreline rights.
Join us in a conversation about defining the legislation of coastal access in order to clarify this existing constitutional right.
