Barnstable County Coastal Resources Subcommittee

The BCCRS is a subcommittee of the Barnstable County Coastal Management Committee (BCCMC), established by a vote of the BCCMC on May 13, 2019, and appointed by the Barnstable County Commissioners in July 2019. The purpose of the BCCRS is to provide local perspective to the BCCMC on coastal resource management issues that Cape Cod communities face.

Initially formed in the mid-1990s to collaborate on coastal resource education and management, what was then called the Barnstable County Coastal Resources Committee met quarterly to talk about dredging, erosion and beach nourishment, stormwater management, and coastal water quality issues. The newly re-formed subcommittee’s mission is to share information and knowledge among the subcommittee members, and to identify and recommend resource management concerns and priorities to the BCCMC and the County Commissioners.
