"In this volume individual beaches are examined on a community-by-communith basis. A consolidated Table of Contents for Volumes I and II is included. In this study all narrow strips of land composed principally of sediments ranging in size from sand to cobble and separated from the mainland by a coastal pond or wetland were considered barrier beaches. Napatree Point, which is a barrier split also is included. Generally, he study areas included all pondside wetland joined to the barrier. Thirty barrier beaches were identified with a total area of 2287 acres and 27.4 miles of ocean shoreline. The Coastal Resources Center was given approximately six months to complete the study and propose recommendations for the future management and use of RI barrier beaches. This Volume II presents the findings of a field survey, interviews with town officials, a study of natural features made from aerial photographs and a study of ownership and land use made from the records of town assessors.
