Capers, we have been working diligently since 2015 to address the needs of our beaches and parks. Over the last decade, we have committed more than $850,000 in community funding and received over $1,050,000 in matching grants. The Cape St. Claire Board of Governors (CSCIA BOG) has remained focused on the mandate passed during the 2015 annual membership meeting to address eroding shorelines and the resiliency of our waterfront property.If you have been following our progress, two grants awarded in the last couple of years by the US Fish and Wildlife NFWF program provided $150,000 to fund the analysis, design, and permitting of sites 3–7. These sites were originally identified in the 2016/17 Technical Memo by Biohabitats, which assessed our seven primary waterfront properties. You are likely familiar with the projects recently completed at Main Beach (Site 1) and Lake Claire (Site 2), which included beach restoration, dredging, and the installation of groins, rootwads and oyster reef balls between late 2020 and spring 2022. We hope to build upon the progress and work of past.
In partnership with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and our engineers at Coastal Resources, Inc. (CRI), the CSCIA BOG will present initial concept designs on Thursday, March 5th, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the CSC Clubhouse.
These plans include the following properties:
- Site 3: Deep Creek Park
- Site 4: Little Magothy Park
- Site 5: Little Magothy Pier
- Site 6: Little Magothy Pumping Station (the "Dog Leg"), 2 acres of community land owned behind Graul's Fields.
- Site 7: The 6 acres of community land between Little Magothy View and Swan (Park Circle Park)
