The Charlestown Town Council has approved its $39.5-million plan for the development of Ninigret Park. The “Ninigret Park Utilization Plan Update 2025” is a long-term strategy or blueprint and will serve as a guide for decision-making and future development, according to a statement by the Town Council at the front of the plan document. With the adoption of the Utilization Plan, the Town Council is now turning its attention to its implementation.

The storms that climate change is intensifying don’t necessarily spell doom for the plovers, but they’re not an inherent blessing either. They introduce a new set of complications and concerns for the bird. Whether climate change benefits or hurts piping plovers will depend a lot on the human response to that change.
