Evaluating shoreline protection structures throughout NYC.

A Local Law in relation to evaluating shoreline protection structures throughout the city of New York

This bill would require the Mayor to appoint an agency to conduct a study of the shoreline and all shoreline protection structures in New York City. The agency would prepare recommendations for maintaining shoreline protection structures that are functional, for replacing those that are deteriorating, and for adding them where they do not exist. Such recommendations would include using living shoreline techniques or environmentally responsible alternatives to traditional concrete material where feasible. The agency would submit the report to the Mayor and Council and make its recommendations publicly available on its website.
