The document outlines seven potential capital improvement projects for beaches and parks identified by Cape St. Claire to address issues like shoreline erosion. It discusses evaluating each project and developing concepts, gathering community input on the current status, and the next steps of scheduling site visits with regulators, drafting recommendations, selecting projects to move forward, and obtaining permits and beginning construction. Regulatory oversight prefers natural or "living shorelines" solutions using oyster aquaculture and reefballs combined with environmental education.
