Public Shoreline Access (2021)

This feature layer includes points for the state-designated rights-of-way (ROW) to the shoreline. A public right-of-way (ROW) to the shore is a parcel of land over which the public has the right to pass on foot or, if appropriate, by vehicle, in order to access the tidal waters of Rhode Island. The Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) has the authority to designate public ROWs to the tidal waters of the state (R.I.G.L. 46-23.6). Like an easement, a public ROW relates to the public’s use, not the public’s ownership. The points were hand digitized based on the property boundary information included in the official CRMC Designation decisions, which are also recorded in land evidence records. The interactable web-layer, which includes photos of the sites and the official CRMC decision documentation can be accessed at: https://www.crmc.ri.gov/publicaccess.html本要素图层包含罗德岛州指定的海岸通行权（right-of-way，简称ROW）点位。海岸公共通行权（ROW）系指公众为进入罗德岛州潮汐水域，可步行或适当时驾车通行的土地地块。罗德岛州海岸资源管理委员会（Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council，简称CRMC）有权依据《罗德岛州成文法》第46-23.6条，指定通往本州潮汐水域的公共通行权。与地役权同理，公共通行权仅关联公众的使用权益，而非所有权归属。本点位系根据CRMC官方通行权认定决议中收录的宗地边界信息手工数字化生成，该决议同时归档于土地权属备案记录中。包含场地照片及CRMC官方认定文件的可交互网页图层可通过以下链接访问：https://www.crmc.ri.gov/publicaccess.html
