The boys at Fire Island Tea speak with the Fire Island Pines Property Owners Association (FIPPOA) President Henry Robin. Henry shares his candid and transparent management of all the various governmental agencies and efforts that have been put in motion to get the Fire Island Pines beach replenished. The fragility of the island is exposed and the complexities of how we got here are discussed. There are critics who are attacking FIPPOA and Henry personally for not doing enough or poking the wrong bear, but after this cup of tea, they might think otherwise.

Disclaimer:
This podcast was recorded prior to the impact of September 2023 Tropical Storm Ophelia and Hurricane Lee. Since then, Henry has worked with Suffolk County and the New York State DEC, who subsequently submitted a second (stand-alone) request to the Army Corp of Engineers to provide emergency repair of the Eastern Fire Island communities. This is the second of three beach repair options Henry will discuss in the podcast.
