This survey asked whether people preferred the blue mobi-mats, which the City of Rehoboth Beach has used for several years, or newer, more natural coco mats at beach access crossings. Both mats seem to have benefits. Moving forward, the city plans to utilize both mat types at its beach access points. Mats are installed for the summer season around mid-May.
