Thank you to everyone who joined our recent shoreline access town hall and to the many advocates, speakers, and organizations (Save the Bay, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, RI Saltwater Anglers Association) who made it such a meaningful conversation 🌊 . We covered everything from shoreline access and managed retreat bills to CRMC reform and how to give effective, impactful testimony—because personal stories truly make a difference in the legislative process. I’m especially grateful to all who shared their time, expertise, and commitment to protecting public access to our coast.
