Video release: Second Jenkins Point town hall held

Tuesday, January 30, 2024

(Jan. 30, 2024) Maryland Coastal Bays Program hosted a second public meeting on the Jenkins Point Restoration Project on Monday night in the Clubhouse Meeting Room.

Video of the meeting is available online at https://youtu.be/n1ADNocqxls.

Representatives from MCBP briefly went over the project and answered questions from the audience for roughly an hour. MCBP Executive Director Kevin Smith spoke on the project’s background and next steps, and Chris Becraft from Underwood & Associates discussed the design approach and objectives.

Jenkins Point is on the Isle of Wight Bay, just offshore of the Ocean Pines Yacht Club. The area has seen significant erosion, reducing the resilience of the fragmented peninsula and the adjacent mainland community infrastructure, including the Yacht Club, the Osprey Point condominium community and the Pines Point residential community and marina to the increasing effects of climate change.

MCBP received a grant in 2022 from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to fund the design and permitting phase of the restoration project. Construction of the project will require additional funding.
