Due to proposed changes in the new county zoning ordinance, the Bay Act being superseded on the seaside is a real possibility. With unregulated Planned Unit Development, as well as what appears to be backhanded attempts by the County to introduce intensive farming (large scale poultry operations), degraded water, both sole source potable and natural mudflats used for aquaculture, are also becoming at risk. The spatially explicit effects of residential development on shorelines not only disrupt food web dynamics, but also have a detrimental effect by increasing erosion. In this photo essay, intrepid Mirror photographer Chris Glennon hops aboard Mike Steelman’s helicopter to take a first swag at documenting the current state of the Northampton seaside, and immediate barrier islands.
