New riprap or shoreline protection structures. Extension of riprap just south of Easy Street; no machinery, only boulders and evidence of recent sand trenching

Storm damage for this mile seems mostly at Laurel/Sijota; Morris Excavation has built a roadbed parallel to the bluff for equipment access; some erosion at World Mark, north of state park.
