Chatham's Board of Selectmen has been pressuring U.S. Representative Bill Keating (D-Mass.) to continue his efforts to return a stretch of ocean off the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge to state and local control.

Chatham selectmen say efforts seem to have stalled, and even went as far as to put out a call to action to residents last week.
