The survey pool will be all addresses in the zip code for Far Rockaway, including businesses (excluding government offices). NOTE: The purpose of shoreline erosion prevention is to maintain the shorelines natural ability to handle tides, whereas erosion increases the chances of flooding. Other benefits of erosion prevention are habitat conservation for flora and fauna. NOTE: Erosion prevention often involves reducing both foot and vehicle traffic, and regulating/preventing certain forms of construction and demolition. Additionally, the importation of beach sand from less impacted/impactful areas to support areas with frequent erosion. NOTE: The estimated cost of beach erosion across three potential scenarios is: 1) $50 for 25% prevention. 2) $75 for 50% prevention. or 2) $100 for 75% prevention. 100% prevention…arrow_forwardIn an MUS application, how is the population size defined?arrow_forward
