BEACH RENOURISHMENT PROJECT

The impacts of Hurricane Isaias in August 2020 left our dunes in a state of disrepair. An immediate rebuilding effort for emergency dunes, involving the pushing of sand with bulldozers, was completed in early October 2020. While this helped provide immediate protection, there are still more long-term efforts underway.
