Observation created by Turtle at Long Island School on 5/8/2023
In Investigation: Shoreline Erosion Mapping
| GPS Coordinates for Survey Location | 43.680083, -70.167861 |
| Predictions | We thought that the erosion would get worse over time because we are seeing more king tides. |
| Outcomes | We found that erosion was less over the years because they put up a snow fence before 2003. Although some major storms effected erosion, the snow fence helped a lot. |
| Years of known impactful storms | 1978: 14.17 ft, 2007: 13.28 ft, 2010: 12.92 ft, 2012: 13.00 ft, 2018: 13.79 ft, 2022: 13.72 ft |
| Years Surveyed in Map | 2003, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021 |
| Beach geographic information (direction facing, sheltered/open ocean, substrate (sandy, rocky, etc) | Its a sandy beach facing west on a sound facing another island. |
