Figure 4. Ongoing erosion of the bank and sand immediately seaward of the bath house resulted in cement blocks (placed at the top of the slope for Hurricane Irene) to be undercut and fall into the tidal channel. These blocks have been removed from the coastal wetland and additional trees from on-site were placed in the erosion hot spot. The bath house is about 20-25 feet from the top of the scarp and would be undermined with additional winter storm erosion. MGS file photo taken November 5, 2011 by S. M. Dickson.
