 Community Descriptions
Unlike Fire Island, where modern conveniences have wormed their way into every community, residents of West Island have made every effort to keep such temptations out of reach; efforts which have so far been largely successful within limits.
Like many island villages, Seaview's growth began in the west and spread east, so that the older homes, dating from the 20's, 30's, and 40's, dominate as one enters from Ocean Beach; newer houses farther east are as graceful and tastefully appointed as their more traditional counterparts.
Storms in the early 60s and a disastrous fire in 1983 depleted the housing stock somewhat; the earlier losses were made up by the construction of several modern houses which blend in surprisingly well with the huge, shingled, two and three story "cottages" which are the norm.

 Fire Island Ecology
While we do not oppose reasonable efforts to protect private structures, we believe that when it comes to houses on the southern-most dunes, they should be understood as a part of the problem, and there is a limit to how much responsibility the public has to protect home owners from the costs of their mistakes.
However, your EA points out that the rate of shoreline retreat observed at Fire Island is consistent with observed levels of sea level rise.
Beyond that, of course, Fire Island has always had a tendency to "drift" slowly northward, so attempts to completely and permanently protect the south side of the island are exercises in futility.

 Hardwoods
Generally the cone-bearing trees, such as pines (Pinus), spruce (Picea), fir (Abies), and redwood (Sequoia), are considered to be softwoods because their wood is composed essentially of water-conducting cells (tracheids) without wood fiber cells.
The weight and hardness of wood is attributed to the density of the cells, the amount of lignin in the cell walls, and the percentage of tiny air spaces or pores within the cell walls.
In fact, some slow-growing conifers, such as pinyon pines and desert junipers (Juniperus), actually have wood with small, densely-packed tracheids that is actually harder and heavier than some of the so-called "medium heavy hardwoods." The classification and separation of these categories is based on specific gravity, and is discussed below and in Table 1.
