COASTAL STORM IMPACT – MAY 2022

Date Posted: Thursday, May 12th, 2022

The impact from the coastal storm that occurred over the weekend caused substantial damage to the beach in South Bethany. The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) assessed the beach and determined that South Bethany has the most severe dune erosion and debris area of the coastal communities.

The Shoreline and Waterway Management Section manages the shoreline through regulation of coastal construction activities and implementation of dune and beach management practices. It also works to protect and enhance eroded beaches to enable continued recreational use of this precious resource. And it works to improve the state’s ability to endure severe coastal […]

Foxes will […]
