Episode 8: Eagle Head Bay

In Eagle Head Bay, access to the beach, coastal trails or roads, and the protective qualities of wetlands is being eroded. In this episode, we learn about the intersection between coastal development and coastal access and what happens when fights over coastal access and environments bring communities together, and tear them apart.

Special thanks to our guests Peter Leslie, Cathie Mourre, and Brian Mourre.
