Last week, the local Chatham newspapers reported that the Chatham Selectmen are considering imposing limits on the parking along the causeway to Morris Island. They are concerned that town residents (shell fishermen) are unable to find parking on the causeway because of the increasing numbers of non-residents who park there and utilize the ferry services to Monomoy Island from the Fish & Wildlife property.
The Selectmen seem quite concerned that they are unable to regulate the ferry service as it operates from U.S. Govt. property. They could impose a permit fee if the service operated from a town landing or property.
Since they cannot regulate the Rip Rider operation, the Selectmen are considering the imposition of parking regulations on the non-resident anglers who use the Causeway. Stay tuned and/or get involved.
