Abstract
The goal of the present study is to identify the best course of action to manage shoreline erosion in Saxis and to provide a detailed Shoreline Management Plan with Habitat Enhancement which can be presented to potential State and Federal funding agencies. While the Plan itself will not resolve the erosion conditions in Saxis, it will allow the Town to market its need and the method of resolution of this need, to agencies and leaders with the resources to implement the Plan’s suggested actions. The shoreline management plan will provide the necessary level of shoreline stabilization while minimizing adverse impacts to estuarine habitat and providing maximum habitat enhancement opportunities. The habitats needed to fulfill the life history requirements of target species desirable for Saxis Island were emphasized in the Plan. The Plan also will present opportunities to enhance local fisheries and provide increased opportunities in eco-tourism.
