Another victory for public shorelines in Starting Point

The article discusses ongoing legal battles in Massachusetts over public access to the state's coastline. Specifically, recent victories have been secured for the public against property owners seeking to restrict access to beaches and intertidal zones, highlighting long-standing issues rooted in historical laws that allow private ownership of the shoreline and seabed. Massachusetts's legal framework, originating from 17th-century ordinances, permits private ownership down to the low-tide line, limiting public recreational use. Authorities emphasize the importance of preserving public access to natural coastal resources, despite legal and constitutional challenges that make future changes difficult.
