AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoNor’easter Watch: A rare September nor’easter is set to slam New England with days of heavy rain, damaging winds (gusts up to 50–60 mph), and coastal flooding—Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts are flagged for the heaviest rain and erosion risk, with tides potentially pushed higher by a full moon. Shoreline Erosion Data: URI and Eastern Connecticut State University launched a new public site, “Rhode Island Beach Dynamics Over Decades,” putting 60+ years of beach survey records online to track how storms and long-term change reshape local coasts. Solar for All Court Win: A federal judge ruled EPA unlawfully ended Rhode Island-linked Solar for All funding, a decision that could unlock about $7B nationwide and keep low-income solar work moving. Local Resilience Planning: South Kingstown officials are preparing for a rough winter and renewed beach erosion, weighing retreat, replenishment, and targeted hardening like revetments. Outdoor Access Funding: RIDEM received $1.2M from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to boost fishing and boating participation through outreach and stewardship. Environmental Education: URI’s College of Engineering launched a new Bachelor of Science in environmental engineering, expanding coursework in air pollution and environmental chemistry. Wildlife & Public Health: A coyote scratch at T.F. Green Airport led to preventive rabies treatment, as Rhode Island reports more rabid animals in 2026.
