More water and higher tides
Peeps I know in CM with houses on the creeks had issues when the westhampton big breach was open many years ago
Thank you.
We had much bigger swings in tide from the breach after Sandy. It's another hole in the bucket and I'd gladly take a little less clean water for the protection that would come from filling it in.
Mother Nature and the weather not a damm thing we can do about it sucks but it is what it is.. And I do have to agree with [USER=288]@longcast[/USER] the bays were much cleaner
Nothing a dredge and some bulldozers couldn't fix.
That the next storm could easily take away
Only seems to happen every thirty or forty plus years or so. I'll take the risk.

If tides reach a certain height regardless, how does it get higher? Granted, the water will rise quicker and then retreat sooner. The WH breach was the best thing that could have happened to the bay. And those were my 4 trips a week on boats and surf. Folks I fished with noticed a slightly higher and lower for a bit and then it settled back to "normal". But as we see during storms, one creek gets flooded and others do not. Too many factor to generalize. Absolute shame it was closed.
Once Erin moves out of here I am done updating unless a watch or warning is issued for nyc and Long Island. Still have all of sept and Oct. I hope once Erin leaves that’s it for the season.

Oh, and turned into a "members only" using MY MONEY to fix it. That makes my skin crawl.

It is................... Bye bye money!! MY HARD EARNED MONEY for others to enjoy!
..............put sand on a sand bar at my expense (but my family and I cannot enjoy) and watch the tide take it away to steal my money again and repeat.
There shouldn’t be any reason you can’t enjoy it? That aside, if we lose the barrier islands, so may go the large parts of the mainland, and huge effects to marine estuaries.

Signs say "By Permit Only", or "For Residents Only". I already paid for it.............Shall I go on?
And I understand that, but breaches happen naturally, and they close naturally.

Didn't Town of Babylon make a Beach "Residents Only" recently?
Residents Only goes both ways.
I'm in 100% in agreement with you on this. New Yorkers pay enough taxes, there should be reciprocity.
Maybe do it a little more like Nassau does with the parks. Free for residents and a nominal fee for non. However, I'm not much of a fan of that either. I pay a lot of taxes in Nassau even though I'm not technically a "resident."
