Sunday, February 27th Latest Pictures of the Island

 Hi All - yesterday, I along with Bill Cs help, took the CCU Sea Turtle Club out to do a Beach Cleanup.  We worked on the jetty area and behind the jetty.  Since many of the student's had never been to the island we took them to the western end of the island by Hog Inlet.  This end of the island shows serious erosion of the dunes and the beach.  The trees that were involved in the fire in September are now in the water.  The biggest change is the sailboat.   The sailboat has broken up, the top of the boat is gone and you see into the cabin.  

In the future we may be seeing  pieces of the top of the sailboat coming back ashore.

Enjoy the pictures, compliments of Bill and Leslie

Pictures from the western/short end of the island.  Lots of erosion and major change to the sailboat.








 

 The sailboat was scuttled on the island in 2017 - it has been an interest to our volunteers and visitors to the island
