A. The Coastal Resources Management Council adopted in 2008 orthophoto aerial image shoreline change maps that were developed by the University of Rhode Island. These maps comprise the state's shoreline from Watch Hill to Pt. Judith, into and inclusive of Narragansett Bay and its islands, to the eastern shoreline of Little Compton. Shoreline change maps are now completed for Block Island.

B. The purpose of these maps is to show shoreline rates of change that will be applied to pertinent sections of the Council's regulatory programs to address issues including setbacks of activities from coastal features. These shoreline change maps detail accretion and erosion rates for the shoreline associated with shoreline transect segments for each map. In total there are one hundred eighty-seven (187) such maps, which are herein incorporated as regulations of the RICRMP.

C. The maps for the communities of Westerly, Charlestown, South Kingstown, Narragansett and North Kingstown are based on 2014 orthophoto aerial images and are listed under Washington County (2016). These maps show various shorelines from 1939, 1951, 1963, 2012 and 2014 aerial images. In addition, four new panels for the Narrow River have been included. The remaining maps adopted in 2008 include only the shorelines interpreted from aerial images of 1939, 1975 and 2003 for maps covering Narrow River northward into the Bay, islands and to Little Compton or 2004 for the shoreline from Napatree Point to Narragansett Beach.

D. The maps for the community of New Shoreham (Block Island) are based on 2016 orthophoto aerial images and are listed under Block Island (2017). These maps show the shoreline positions and change as determined from the differences between the 1952 and 2016 aerial images.

E. These shoreline change maps are orthophoto aerial images which individually are very large digital computer files. They can be examined on-line at the Council's website: http://www.crmc.ri.gov/maps/maps_shorechange.html.
