Trustees Ponder Restoring Napeague Harbor’s East Inlet

Restoring the east inlet, which closed in 2007 after an April northeaster, would improve water quality and habitat for shellfish, finfish, and eelgrass. It would also reduce water flow through the west inlet, and, potentially, shoreline erosion north of Lazy Point and on Promised Land. It is “a project beyond the scope of what the trustees on their own could finance.”
