RESOLUTION AMENDING MPD’S POLICY RELATING TO DOGS ON OUR BEACHES
WHEREAS, Resolution 2023-46 establishing policies for dogs on our beaches did not take into account the need to protect shorebirds on select beaches during select times of the year,
RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners of the Mattituck Park District hereby amends the policy so it reads as follows:
No dogs are allowed on public bathing beaches from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.
No dogs are allowed on land that is within 50 feet of any recreation area that is marked off and posted for protection of piping plovers and other endangered species. Both Bailie Beach and Breakwater Beach have such posted areas for several months each year.
