Leading up to the one-year anniversary since the launch of MyCoast Photo Stations, MyCoast: New Jersey is hosting a Photo Station Challenge this summer! MyCoast Photo Stations are found in diverse locations along New Jersey’s coast, where shorelines are constantly changing due to higher tides, more intense storms, and frequent erosion. By using a MyCoast Photo Station, you are documenting important impacts to your community’s shoreline over time.
