Description:

As towns seek to reduce watershed nitrogen loads to coastal bays and ponds, modifying tidal inlets to improve water quality may be considered in certain scenarios as a potential management approach. Key issues to be covered include:
• technical aspects of modifying inlets and factors that control tidal flushing
• state regulations
• the viability and appropriateness of this approach for different sites
• potential environmental impacts
• advantages and disadvantages
• economic costs.
