The following issue was investigated by Mr. David Baines and determined NOT to involve NSEA property and therefore no action was taken.

Comments: Dear Board of the North Shore Estates Association:
My colleague, Dr. Liz Alm, and I will be conducting a study in the area during summer 2012 and 2013 to investigate the effectiveness of border collies for displacing gulls from beaches. We will likely be working at North Beach Park and require a nearby section (200 meters) of beach to survey gull numbers and test the use of dogs.
I can provide much greater detail of our study protocol. I’m inquiring about the possible use of a beach section within the Association’s section of beach north of North Beach Park.
Sincerely,
