Description:New York's ocean shoreline provides substantial economic, recreational, and environmental benefits to the state's residents. The need for sound coastal management balancing environmental protection, public safety, and property rights is clearly evident. However, proper management requires an adequate understanding of the resource. Unfortunately, a comprehensive, up-to-date coastal data base required for reliable decision- making is not presently available. A coastal monitoring program is required to improve government's ability to make timely management and regulatory decisions by providing information that would allow managers to define and quantify the erosion problem, evaluate effectiveness of adopted and proposed erosion management strategies, and develop a better understanding of the causes and effects of observed shoreline changes. A workshop was held to identify the necessary elements and, where possible, specifications for a monitoring program for New York's open ocean coast. This report presents deliberations and findings of the participants.
