What the: guicfelinessay.
The guidelines create wCAMA minor -permit and an exemption'for-sand;fencing. To.quarify for -the, n,.,
installation of new sand fencing has_ to in the following criteria:
• The fencing must be no taller than,5 feet'and builtfromaeWhly spaced.thjn.wooden verfcal slats c itjected,
with twisted wire.
ery
• The fencing must be placed•as far landward as possible to avoid interference with sea turtle:_nes¢� ;public
access anduseof,the beach. It must not be placed on,the wet -sand beach:
If fencing.ts,to be placed paralfel to the shoreline,:it must not be locatedValerward of the crest oftlie'frontal or
'primary dune.
2
If fencing=is.to be placed wateiward ofthe:crest of the dune I must be: installed at a:OAegree.orgreeter<
angle to the shoreline. Fachsectioaof fence must not be longer than 10 feet,, and=sections must bespaced.at
least 7 feet apart.
Fencing must not extend -more than, l0 feetbeyond either the first line of stablematural vegetation "tlie_toe of
the frontal or primary dune, or the erosion.escarpment:of the dune; whtcheveris closest to the::wr#1ff.,
Sand -fencing to be placed along; public accesses may be as,long; as the access, and may include_a!#'rdegme
funnel on the watenn aal end. The tunnekmay extendEup to-40 feet beyond=lhe end of the, access.
Why the guidelines are -needed

protect their. homes.from storms and long terfn b'each erosion: AsLsuch,„miles of.sand fencing — some ofTxjtidr is

Because improper sand;fencing can:pose a threatao seeturtles, the state Wildlife Resources CommissiolibiL4
developed voluntary sand fencing guidelines.,
Several beach communitimhad attempted to address the issue through sand fencing ordinances, but the_ccnp0: of
the problem required'state attention. The CRCs' new regulatory guidelines -were developed in cooperation iRA
