Harpswell, West Bath, Phippsburg to investigate climate’s impact on future of town landings

TIMES RECORD • December 5, 2021

Harpswell has hired a marine engineering company to assess how three coastal sites in the region will fare against fallout from climate change — namely rising seas and storm surges. Harpswell selectmen unanimously voted to have Freeport-based Baker Design Consultants conduct a resiliency analysis on three sites: Garrison Cove boat launch on Bailey Island in Harpswell, Sabino Landing in West Bath, and Acre Lot Wharf in Phippsburg. Harpswell, West Bath and Phippsburg are grouped together to represent the Midcoast in the project.
