Erosion and silting, perhaps? The coastline is dynamic and by extending the district boundaries a certain number of yards out into the water, it may prevent a home in one district from winding up partially in another if deposits extended the property?
I question the plausibility of it being mineral rights as I would think that the Town of Brookhaven's Dongan patent would supercede the school district's rights.
I think you've asked an excellent question.
