PROPOSED BEACH EROSION CONTROL & MANAGEMENT PLAN OBJECTIVES 1) Protect and stabilize the beach/dune system from erosion. 2) Promote a recreational (sandy) beach. 3) Provide suggested methods of wave and flood protection to upland public and private properties. 4) Provide a mechanism for active participation by the public and local governments in approving financing of erosion control projects. 5) Promote coastal and marine environment protection. 6) Provide for public access to beach areas. 7) Insure positive benefit/cost ratio for all erosion control projects. 8) Implement a management plan that provides cost effective- ness as well as equitable cost distribution. 9) Provide uniform regulations for coastal construction projects. 10) Develop a public awareness program emphasizing the need for coastal erosion control and management. Commissioner Wodtke stated that they would like some determination re meeting these goals and objectives and need more guidance from the Commission re selecting proper consultants to do the necessary study and research. He then proceeded to review the ten objectives listed. 1) In regard to protecting and stablizing the beach/dune system, Commissioner Wodtke reported that since the beach dune system is what protects the overall barrier island, the committee feels any study should cover from A -1-A to the ocean from inlet to inlet, as well as off -shore shoals, reefs, etc. 2) The committee feels that it is important to maintain and have a recreational sandy beach and wished to know if that is acceptable as an objective. Commissioner Scurlock stated he had no problem with any of the objectives listed except the first one, but he would want to include some language in there not to include armoring. Commissioner Wodtke agreed this is a concern, but felt it is hard to define "armoring," i.e., does "armoring" include a protective device that is covered with sand? 102 MAR 2 0 1985 Bou60d.; `
