The Chatham break...To fill or not to fill?
The below link is to a story in today's Boston globe about the break in the Outer Beach off Chatham. It is a very interesting article. Check it out.Read the story here.
For those of you who remember the Chatham of old...and by old I mean when the outer beach stretched all the way to the northern tip of Monmoy, then you remember what a traumatic experience it was when the cut of today broke through.
Now there is the new cut to contend with. By the looks of it, it could very well become the new channel to the ocean...if allowed to.
It will be very interesting to see if the National Park Service will allow the filling in of the new break, given their policy of letting nature take it's course.
At the risk of causing an all out war, I would be very interested in hearing what other viewers have to say on this. I lived in Chatham, in fact, I lived on Ministers Point many years ago. I would hate to see anybody get hurt by the new break, but on the other hand, it seems to me that if allowed to fill in the gap, a precedence will be set.
I would like to hear what other people think on this subject. I consider Chatham to be where my roots are, so yes...I do care what happens there.
