Mile 291 Report
June 12, 2021
Report Details
Conditions
Temperature: 64 F. Cloud Cover: Partly Cloudy. Wind Direction: SW. Tide Level: 0.7 feet.
Human Activities
Storefront homeowners at Pine Beach Loop have cut down trees and removed limbs in many others from the bottom to just below a few top branches. This has occurred over a number of years, but has become highly pertinent in the present time, due to their application for a Goal 18 revetment. Having violated Ocean Shore rules, they are now seeking artificial protective measures to remediate their actions which have created additional exposure to more damage from erosion.
