We lost one house to erosion in 2009 and as the erosion accelerated we were forced to move our family house back as far as possible--110 feet almost to Ames Ave. The rate of erosion is greater than 44 feet since 2012! We have lost more than sixty feet since 2015. Perhaps the town can call on the research done by Joe Farrell and ask the Corps of Engineers and the federal government for assistance in getting things done. Nantucket needs to do this now!

Our home at 8 Maine Avenue is now what appears to be perilously close to the Atlantic. We are most interested in preserving access on Ames.

This is critically important for the town to take up immediately to protect our many homes and the historic access to Madaket Harbor and the ocean!!

A Corp. of Eng.. project using sand dredging could provide a long term conservation answer. How about bringing back Tom Farrel?

Can't sit by and wait for the end of the island to disappear-- I agree with one petitioners, act on the Farrell research and proposal.

As 30 year visitors and now home owners in Madaket we share the alarm at seeing Madaket erosion of such severity. Solutions must be identified and discussed this spring. 17 Ames Avenue

As long term (40 yrs) part time resident of Tristams landing I have observed the changes in Madaket.. Thank you Charlie Stott for you continued involvement. Planning is essential and a priority. The ocean waits for no man.

Time is of the essence here. Please undertake to develop an action plan as soon as practicable to preserve this vitally important part of the Island.

Preserving access to smiths point and Millie's bridge should be a high priority for the town as a historical asset as well as a safety priority. It will be much easier and less disruptive to preserve this access than react after it is destroyed

Family House on Ames Ave. Accelerating erosion is clear. Long term planning is necessary.

I am in favor of developing a feasible plan to help stop the erosion.

I agree with this petition as an immediate need- but it must be accompanied by addressing the entire coastal erosion issues on the South/West side of the island.

Save Ames Ave and Millie's Bridge for home owners and maintain access to this beautiful area for all Nantucketers.
