FENWICK ISLAND, Del. - The town of Fenwick Island met with DNREC to try and come up with long term solutions for flooding.
A lot of the solutions were surrounding bulkheads, which are typically wooden barriers that separate any body of water from land.
Some ideas were raising bulkheads, adding more bulkheads across Fenwick Island, or adding bulkheads behind piled up stones, called riprap.
But the town said this is a long term process and they first need grant money to begin these projects.
While some in town like longtime resident Tim Collins said this issue should be a top priority.
"We put money in keeping the ocean side protected, which we have to do we have to have dunes and we have to protect the ocean side," Collins said. "Now the emphasis should be shifting with the same concerns to the bayside, because we're experiencing things that we never experienced on the bayside."
The next Infrastructure Committee meeting will be on November 14 at town hall in Fenwick Island.
