📰 News we're reading

• Harbor and Waterfront Advisory Committee Emphasizes Need for Dredging (dredgewire.com) — Swampscott's Harbor and Waterfront Advisory Committee is urging the Select Board to move quickly on dredging the harbor off Fishermen's Beach before next boating season, citing boats grounding at low tide. With eelgrass protections limiting work seasons, the town also plans October sand removal along the Fishermen's Beach seawall to reduce erosion and flooding, which may require residents to move kayaks and gear.
