Gen. Laws § 45-22.2-4(12). 12 1113. ªAssociated residential structuresº means, but is not limited to, decks, 13 porches, walls, boardwalks, swimming pools, roads, driveways, and shall 14 include other structures integral to or ancillary to a residential building 15 including minor grading, filling or excavation typically 10 cubic yards or 16 less. 17 1214. ªBarrierº means and island or spit comprised of sand and/or gravel, 18 extending parallel to the coast and separated from the mainland by a 19 coastal pond, tidal water body, or coastal wetland. In addition to a beach, 20 barriers have, in most cases, a frontal foredune zone and often, back 21 barrier dune fields. The lateral limits of barriers are defined by the area 22 where unconsolidated sand or gravel of the barrier abuts bedrock or 23 glacial sediment. This definition of a barrier system is commonly 24 associated with many geomorphic descriptors. These descriptors include, 25 but are not limited to, barrier islands, bay barriers, and spits. Spits are 26 further described as tombolo, shingle, cuspate, and flying spits. The terms 27 ªbarº and ªridgeº were once used to describe a barrier system, but have 28 since been replaced with the term ªbarrierº. The barriers or portions 29 thereof designated by the federal government as undeveloped pursuant to 30 their criteria, under the Coastal Barrier Resources Act of 1982 (Public Law 31 97-348) are noted in Table 5 in § 1.2.2(C) of this Part. In these federally 32 designated areas, flood insurance for most forms of construction is not 33 available. Many of the state's barriers have been mapped and assigned by 34 the Coastal Resources Management Council into three categories as 35 follows: 36 a. ªUndeveloped barrierº means those essentially free of 37 commercial/industrial buildings, (excluding public utility lines) 38 houses, surfaced roads, and structural shoreline protection 39 facilities. 1 3 2 1 b. ªModerately developed barrierº means those that are essentially 2 free of houses, commercial/ industrial buildings and/or facilities 3 (excluding utility lines) that contain surfaced roads, recreational 4 structures, and/or structural shoreline protection facilities. 5 c. ªDeveloped barriersº mean those that contain houses and/or 6 commercial/industrial structures; they may also contain surfaced 7 roads and structural shoreline protection facilities.

    9. Ocean deoxygenation: Impacts on ecosystem services and people Hannah R. Bassett, Alexandra Stote, Edward H. Allison Ocean deoxygenation: Impacts on ecosystem 9 services and people Hannah R. Bassett1, Alexandra Stote1, Edward H. Allison1,2 1 School of Marine and Environmental Affairs, University of Washington, Seattle, USA 2 Worldfish, Penang, Malaysia Summary • Effects of ocean deoxygenation on people remain understudied and inherently challenging to assess. Few studies address the topic and those that do generally include more readily quantified economic losses associated with ocean deoxygenation, exclude non-use and existence value as well as cultural services, and focus on relatively small, bounded systems in capitalized regions. Despite the lack of extensive research on the topic, current knowledge based in both the natural and social sciences, as well as the humanities, can offer useful insights into what can be expected from continued ocean deoxygenation in terms of generalized impact pathways. • People receive benefits from ocean ecosystem services in the form of well-being (assets, health, good social relations, security, agency). Ecosystem services are translated to human well-being via social mediation, such that differences in levels of power and vulnerability determine how different social groups will experience hazards created by continued ocean deoxygenation. Despite not knowing the precise mechanisms of ocean deoxygenation-driven biophysical change, established social mechanisms suggest that ocean deoxygenation will exacerbate existing social inequities. • Reductions in dissolved oxygen (DO) are generally expected to disrupt ecosystem functioning and degrade habitats, placing new challenges and costs on existing systems for ocean resource use. Coral reefs, wetlands and marshes, and fish and crustaceans are relatively more susceptible to negative effects of ocean deoxygenation.

  • Overlooked by Many Boaters, Mount Hope Bay Offers a Host of Attractive Spots in Which to Wile Away a Day—Or Week—On the Water
    DESTINATION MOUNT HOPE BAY The author’s boat, Friendship, at anchor in Church’s Cove. Overlooked by many boaters, Mount Hope Bay offers a host of attractive spots in which to wile away a day—or week—on the water. BY CAPTAIN DAVE BILL PHOTOGRAPHY BY CATE BROWN ount Hope Bay, shared by Massachusetts and Rhode Island, doesn’t get a lot of attention from boaters. But it should. The bay is flled with interesting places to dock, drop an anchor or explore in a small boat, so you could fll an entire week visiting a new spot every day. Every summer, I spend a signifcant amount of time on the bay aboard a 36- foot Union cutter, so I’ve gotten to know and love this body of water, which offers everything from interesting things to see and do to great dock-and-dine restaurants to scenic spots where one can drop the hook and take a dip. Here are some of my favorite places to visit, as well as some points of interest. The main gateway to Mount Hope Bay (which is named after a small hill on its western shore) is via the center span of the Mount Hope Bridge, with Hog Island Shoal to port and Musselbed Shoals to starboard. You can also enter, from the north, via the Taunton River, and from the south, via the Sakonnet River. Although the Army Corps of Engineers maintains a 35-foot-deep shipping channel through the bay up to Fall River, be mindful of navigational aids that mark obstructions such as Spar Island or Old Bay Rock.
