GB-SLS-2: Lowest coir/low marsh (former salt marsh section between coirs). Fall 2019 seasonal monitoring/pre-storm monitoring. Mostly sandy, some cobbles. No remaining salt marsh vegetation. Degraded coir logs and anchoring. Almost full southern extent of coir logs blown out. Some coir material spotted beneath boulders in creek. Anchors to be removed by project team.
