Figure 13. The cut bank was eroding at a rate of 10 to 15 feet a week in November 2009. Plans to slow erosion include moving fallen trees into the vicinity of the bath houses in order to slow the removal of sand by tidal currents and widen the beach to break waves farther from the cut bank. Additional erosion may occur to the right of the arrow until the river changes to a straighter course to the sea. Photo taken on 11-10-09 by J. Picher, Director, Engineering and Realty, Bureau of Parks and Lands, Department of Conservation. Interpretation by S. M. Dickson, MGS.
