Protecting Our Shoreline

Protect the places that define Tiny.

Tiny’s beaches, wetlands, waterfront and natural spaces are part of what makes this community home. Laura believes protecting them should be built into the decisions Council makes—not treated as an afterthought.

What Laura Stands For

Stewardship, access and long-term thinking.

Protecting the shoreline is about preserving the environment, respecting the people who live here, and making decisions that will still make sense years from now.

Protect natural areas

Support responsible protection of beaches, wetlands, dunes, tree cover and other sensitive areas that help define Tiny’s character and environmental health.

Plan before problems grow

Use long-term planning and sound information when dealing with erosion, drainage, development pressure and shoreline impacts instead of waiting until issues become more expensive to fix.

Balance access and stewardship

Public enjoyment of Tiny’s waterfront should go hand in hand with protecting the natural spaces residents and visitors value.

Listen locally

Residents who live near the shoreline see changes firsthand. Laura believes their experience should be part of the conversation alongside professional and environmental guidance.

Laura’s approach

Protect what makes Tiny special, make decisions with the long term in mind, and avoid choices that trade tomorrow’s problems for today’s convenience.
