#1 Sustaining Brewster’s Public Beaches And Landings In The Face Of
Changing Conditions
Introduction
The Town of Brewster Coastal Committee is charged with developing a management plan to provide vision
and direction for the future management of Brewster’s coastal resources. Development of the Brewster
Coastal Resources Management Plan will build on the Coastal Adaptation Strategy (CAS) prepared by
Horsley Witten Group under the auspices of the Brewster Coastal Advisory Group with input from
numerous stakeholders. The CAS assessed impacts to town landings and beaches from sea level rise and
storm surge, and provided guiding principles for assessing future management actions.
This discussion paper is one of a series designed to highlight management issues that will be addressed in
the Brewster Coastal Resource Management Plan. Each paper will be presented at a community
workshop to engage stakeholders in discussing management issues and trends, and evaluating potential
strategies and action items. The discussion paper topics and workshop dates are:
1. Sustaining our public beaches and landings in the face changing shoreline conditions
Community workshop: May 17
2. Preserving the values and services provided by healthy coastal wetlands
Community workshop: June 14
3. Providing access for water-dependent activities
Community workshop: July 19
4. Preserving access to beach and landings for residents and visitors
Community workshop: August 16
5. Protecting vulnerable infrastructure, visual access, cultural & historical resources
Community workshop: September 13
Each paper discusses current conditions and future trends, and explores a range of potential management
strategies and actions. Proposed strategies and actions could encompass physical improvements, policies
and regulations, management practices, technical studies/analyses, or communications measures.
This paper provides an overview of the coastal processes and expected trends that will shape Brewster’s
shoreline in the decades ahead. The paper seeks to answer the following questions: What physical
changes to Brewster’s shoreline are anticipated, and what resiliency strategies and measures are available
to the town to help prepare for, adapt to and manage change over the next decade? What, if any, trade-
offs are involved with pursuing potential strategies or measures?
Subsequent discussion papers will address issues of public beach access; access to town
landings for activities such as shellfishing/aquaculture; protection of wetlands; public
infrastructure; and visual, historical and cultural resources.

Summary of Coastal Processes and Trends (Highlights from the Century Scale
Sediment Budget and Coastal Adaptation Strategy)
Brewster’s seven miles of north-facing shoreline on Cape Cod Bay includes ten public landings and access
points with some amount of onsite public parking, as well as Wing Island which is accessed through
property owned by the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History (Figure 1). The entire shoreline is within
FEMA VE flood zone, subject to inundation by the one percent annual chance flood event (i.e., 100-year
storm). Brewster’s famous 12,000 acres of tidal flats extend seaward approximately two miles at low tide.
Brewster’s shoreline is part of the larger Cape Cod Bay coastal system that extends from Provincetown to
Sandwich and the Cape Cod Canal. Several areas along the larger Cape Cod Bay system are
experiencing erosion from daily tidal action and periodic coastal storm surge. Paine’s Creek and Mant’s
Landing are among the areas hardest hit by erosion in Brewster, while Herring Cove in Provincetown,
Chapin Beach in Dennis, Town Neck Beach in Sandwich are among the other areas along Cape Cod Bay
experiencing dramatic erosion in recent years.
Within this larger system, Brewster is part of a littoral cell that extends from Dennis to the west, to Orleans
to the east. A littoral cell consists of a sediment source from which sand is eroded, and a sediment sink,
where sand is deposited. Sediment moves or is transported along shore within the littoral cell. In Brewster’s
littoral cell, sediment moves west to east (Dennis to Orleans) due to prevailing northwesterly wind and
waves.
This sediment budget summary shows the pattern of erosion and deposition of sediment within the
Dennis-Brewster-Orleans littoral cell. The net direction of sediment movement in the littoral cell is
from Dennis (a sediment source) to Brewster (a sediment sink). Source: Borrelli

A Century Scale Sediment Budget of the Brewster Coast (Borrelli, 2015) was conducted to estimate the
direction, volume and net effect of this river of sediment moving along Brewster’s shoreline. The
assessment found that “Brewster, at its westerly boundary, receives sediment eroded from the coast of the
adjoining Town of Dennis. Eastward sediment transport maintains a fairly constant rate of between 25,000
and 30,000 cubic meters per year throughout the western half of the Town’s coastline, and then decreases
to some 10,000 cubic meters per year at the Town’ s eastern boundary. This reduction in transport rate
indicates that some 15,000 to 20,000 cubic meters of sediment per year are added to eastern section of the
active Brewster coast. However, all available data indicate that the deposition occurs offshore of the
Brewster shoreline.” (Borrelli, 2015) Through the process of longshore sediment transport, a large amount
of sediment is being deposited offshore at the eastern end of the Town near Crosby Landing each year.
However, the study also concludes that erosion is outpacing accretion along Brewster’s shoreline. This
conclusion corresponds with historical data documented in the Coastal Adaptation Strategy (Horsley
Witten, 2016). The average long-term rate of erosion along Brewster’s shoreline is 0.6 ft/year, and
deposition at 0.2 ft/year based on historical data. As shown on Figure 2 (attached), erosion and accretion
are highly variable at different points along the shore:
• Highest rates of erosion at Mant’s Landing and Paine’s Creek;
• High to medium rate of erosion at Breakwater Beach and Ellis Landing and the shoreline west of
Spruce Hill;
• Little or no net change at Saint’s Landing, Linnell Landing, Point of Rocks, Breakwater Landing;
• Medium accretion (building up of sand) at Crosby Landing.
The study also demonstrates that not only have the tidal flats largely kept pace with sea level rise from the
1930s to the present, but in some areas have been increasing in size. However, a significant acceleration
of sea level rise is expected during the present century, and it is not clear if the tidal flats will remain
exposed at low tide under future sea level rise scenarios.

Shoreline structures and certain land use conditions can alter the natural flow of sediment transport and
potentially exacerbate the effects of coastal erosion. Structures such as groins and sea walls are effective
at trapping updrift sediment, but tend to starve down drift beaches and force the downdrift beach to retreat
landward. Similarly, stormwater run-off and loss of wetlands vegetation can lead to overland run-off which
is a significant contributor to erosion.
When contemplating management actions, it is important to consider the broader forces behind sediment
movement, erosion and accretion--both onshore and offshore--within the system.
Impacts of Coastal Processes (Highlights from Coastal Adaptation Strategy)
Effects of coastal storms in the past five years include dune wash-over, flooding and significant beach
erosion. In some areas up to 20 feet of dune or coastal bank has been lost in one event. Erosion and
coastal flooding from storms and surges may intensify in frequency and magnitude as sea level rises,
placing shoreline access points at greater risk of erosion. The Coastal Adaptation Strategy assesses the
impact that alternate potential scenarios of sea level rise and storm surge would have on Brewster’s eleven
shoreline access points. The likely effects on public landings and beaches under these scenarios are
summarized in Table A and depicted on Figures B1-B10 (all attached).
In estimating storm surge levels into the future, the Town looked at the historic record of five significant
storms measured at Boston Harbor, the closest NOAA gauge with a sufficient historic record. The storm
surge levels varied from a “low” of 3.69 feet in the Valentine Day northeaster in 1940 to 4.88 feet during the
“Perfect Storm” of October 1991. The storm surge estimate for the January 2, 2018 storm was 4.82 feet.
The 1991 and 2018 storm surges are the equivalent of two foot of sea level rise and at least 2 feet of storm
surge; slightly less than one of the future scenarios for Brewster’s coast.

Actions Taken by the Town of Brewster to Manage Coastal Resources and Minimize
or Address Erosion Impacts
The Town purchased and protected the two major salt marshes located at either end of Brewster’s
shoreline. The Namskaket Creek and marsh abuts Crosby Landing, and extends into the Towns of Orleans
and Eastham. The marsh is within the Inner Cape Cod Bay Area of Critical Environmental Concern
(ACEC). Quivett Marsh surrounding Wing Island is owned by the Town of Brewster and is protected by a
Conservation Restriction held by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. The
Town of Dennis Crowes Pasture property directly abuts this marsh to the west. These salt marsh systems
are valuable for their ecosystem services, including the ability to absorb storm surge and flood waters. Salt
marshes require a steady supply of sediment to maintain their elevation in the face of sea level rise. To the
extent that an area of salt marsh is unable to keep pace with sea level rise, the marsh will naturally migrate
landward. Development or hardening along the shoreline can preclude opportunities for the landward
migration of salt marshes.
Recent management actions undertaken by the Town at coastal access points include the following:
• Improved drainage at Saint’s landing, eliminating direct discharge onto the beach and erosion down the
path;
• Relocated parking lot at Paine’s Creek; parking lot replaced with sacrificial sand and beach;
• Replaced the undersized culvert at Paine’s Creek leading to Freemans Pond;
• Replaced the undersized culvert under Route 6a at Stony Brook with a much larger box culvert;
• Stormwater controls throughout the Stony Brook valley, including Paine’s Creek Road, Stony Brook
Road, and replacement of the dam at the Stony Brook Mill;
• Relocated parking spaces, restored and protected dune at Breakwater, including a sturdy sand fence at
the beach side of the dune. Implemented green infrastructure (vegetated swale) to absorb stormwater
and pollutants to eliminate a direct discharge onto the beach;
• Stairs and sand nourishment at Little Breakwater to replace a degraded path/gulley down the coastal
bank;
• Replaced stairs at Spruce Hill with a raised structure that allows dune migration. Stairs damaged in
storm, to be replaced Spring 2018;
• Ellis Landing stormwater and beach restoration: Removed non-functional stormwater structures from
beach, installed a resilient mat, nourishment, installed stormwater controls in roadway and parking
area, eliminating a direct stormwater discharge to the beach;
• Linnell Landing stormwater project: Installed stormwater control structures throughout parking lot and
roadway, pitched parking lot back from beach, repaved; Eliminated a direct stormwater discharge onto
the beach;
• Maintenance at all locations: Regular nourishment at Breakwater Landing, Ellis Landing, and Paine’s
Creek;
• Sand nourishment at Mant’s Landing, sacrificial dune and sturdy sand fence;
• Developed the Century Scale Sediment Budget;
• Developed the Brewster Coastal Adaptation Strategy;
• Notice of Intent/Order of Conditions developed for all landings except Mant’s, allowing regular
maintenance and nourishment as required; For Mant’s Landing, a conceptual study was completed to

evaluate removal of pavement with replacement by a resilient pervious surface, with grade changes to
address stormwater concerns from flooding beach side and from the marsh at the back;
• Improvements to handicap access (platform and path at Linnell Landing, accessible platform at Mant’s
Landing, roll out walkway at Breakwater Beach, viewing area at top of stairs at Breakwater Landing);
• Accessible roll out pathway to be installed at Paine’s Creek spring 2018, including a shed to store a
beach wheelchair;
• Footbridge at Paine’s Creek to be replaced spring 2018, including a raised walk across the marsh;
• Culvert to be replaced under Crosby Lane Fall 2018.
Summary of Management Issues
Under potential scenarios of sea level rise and storm surge, beach and marsh resources, parking areas
and access ways may be partially or fully flooded at some Brewster beaches and landings.
Through a process of sediment transport and accretion, Brewster’s expansive tidal flats have kept up with
sea level rise. However it is not clear whether the flats will be able to keep pace if sea level rise
accelerates, as is anticipated.
Similarly, the elevation of Brewster’s marshes, notably Namskaket and Quivett marshes, has kept pace
with sea level rise. However it is not clear whether the marshes will be able to keep pace if sea level rise
accelerates, as is anticipated. Opportunities to maintain the elevation of marshes through thin layer
deposition of sediment, or by creating and preserving opportunities for the landward migration of marshes,
is essential to the preservation of this critical coastal resource.
Management Concepts (Potential Action Items)
The Coastal Adaptation Strategy contained numerous strategies for further evaluation and development.
Those strategies, and others not contained in that document, are provided below.
1. Undertake periodic studies and assessments
A) Monitor and assess physical processes to support short-term management decisions and long term
planning. These measures could include:
• Assess the amount of sediment needed to sustain Brewster’s tidal flats under
alternative/accelerated sea level rise scenarios;
• Periodically revise or update the 2015 sediment transport/sediment budget analyses;
• Periodically (5-year) update projections of sea level rise’ and storm surge;
• Establish new tidal benchmarks; track and record highest annual high tide as proxy for effects of
sea level rise;
• Install a tide gage(s) at selected locations;
• Establish a beach profile monitoring program.
3. Short-term management and maintenance
Brewster Coastal Resource Management Plan May 2018
Sustaining Public Beaches and Landings 7
A) Support and fund short-term maintenance and management actions that balance needs for beach
access, public safety, natural resource sustainability, and coastal resiliency; and that meet local and state
permitting requirements. These measures include:
• Repair stairs, ramps, walkways (including improved handicapped accessibility);
• Create a coastal resiliency tool kit consisting of best practices for sustainable design, management
and maintenance of landings and beaches. This can be informed by the work being undertaken
through the Cape Commission’s Resilient Cape Cod project (ie, use of articulated mats under
ramps and parking areas, fencing, beach grass planting, beach nourishment, dune
nourishment/rebuilding/stabilization.
B) Provide a prioritized list of short-term management measures for each landing:
• Evaluate the site-specific actions and improvements at each public access site identified in the
CAS.
C) Conduct a technical assessment to develop alternative scenarios for addressing erosion pressures and
preserving access at Mant’s Landing and Paine’s Creek.
4. Long-term coastal management resiliency strategies
A) Evaluate resilient shoreline management practices (those that mimic natural coastal processes) and
identify where on Brewster’s shoreline they might be applied:
• Beach and dune nourishment practices for public and private beaches: Mant’s, Paine’s,
Breakwater Beach;
• Dune protection (vegetation, fencing) and reconstruction: Mant’s, Breakwater Beach, Point of
Rocks;
• Create a living shoreline project: oyster reef at Mant’s Landing;
• Managed retreat: locations to be determined;
• Establish a process for identifying, prioritizing and tracking potential shorefront property
acquisitions for satellite parking and to allow for wetlands migration;
• Evaluate the need for additional stormwater management improvements to minimize or eliminate
erosion caused by overland run-off:
o Specific location where infrastructure could reduce or eliminate run-off;
o Provide funding for ongoing maintenance of existing or proposed improvements;
o Implement best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater management.
B) Evaluate changes to the existing groin field, including potential removal/attrition of problematic groins or
other structures on the shoreline that are impeding natural coastal processes or hastening erosion.
Evaluate whether existing groin field could impede sediment transport necessary to sustain the tidal flats
under different sea level rise scenarios.
C) Evaluate policy and regulatory changes to promote coastal resiliency:
• Evaluate local wetlands protection bylaw and regulation to determine if any changes would provide
the Conservation Commission with more latitude in ensuring that natural coastal processes are
protected;
• Evaluate the potential to incorporate the sediment budget into the local wetlands by-law and
regulations to regulate protection of upland development differently in eroding areas;
Brewster Coastal Resource Management Plan May 2018
Sustaining Public Beaches and Landings 8
• For all new or renewed Orders of Condition for erosion management, require adherence to best
practices for shoreline erosion management structures:
o Adopt permitting guidelines based on Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant
publication Spectrum of Erosion Control Methods1;
o Require maintenance and nourishment of erosion management structures (in specific
locations of need);
o Incorporate monitoring requirements for erosion control measures to provide information to
evaluate their functions and impacts.
• Evaluate the potential for implementing a Flood Plain bylaw to, among other things, “restrict or
prohibit development and uses on Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage (i.e. 100-year coastal
floodplain) and its buffer zones in order to minimize potential loss of life, destruction of property,
and environmental damage inevitably resulting from inappropriate development on land known to
be subject to storms, flooding, erosion, relative sea level rise and other coastal zone hazards;” (see
Cape Cod Commission model bylaw);
• For the inner Cape Cod Bay ACEC: Clarify management issues particularly as they relate to
Namskaket Creek, Namskaket Marsh and Crosby Lane beach; and ensure adherence to the ACEC
standard of no adverse effect on ACEC wetland resources.
5. Implementation issues
A) Increase Local Capacity for Coastal Resource Management:
• Track grant and town resources dedicated to coastal resiliency and coastal resource management;
• Consider establishing a regional coastal resources planning group among towns in the same littoral
cell (Dennis, Orleans, Eastham) to identify and study issues of shared concern and share in the
cost of more comprehensive studies. Regional coordination could increase potential for funding
opportunities. This could be done in concert with the existing Barnstable County Coastal
Resources Committee, or the Cape Cod Commission’s Resilient Cape Cod, Cape Cod Bay Work
Group;
• Explore potential benefits of obtaining designation as a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness
(MVP) Program community.
B) Coordinate coastal resiliency plans and actions in concert with the other town plans, including the Local
Comprehensive Plan, Open Space Plan and Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Discussion Questions
The following questions will be explored at the May 17 community meeting:
How do we sustain the town’s coastal resources in the face of erosion?
In what ways can/should the Town plan for continual erosion and storm damage to our shoreline?
What issues or areas demand attention in the short-term (1-5 years)?
