Natural Resources
Specific Impacts:
- Eroded beach
- Eroded dune
- Eroded bank/bluff
- Overwashed beach/dune
- Wrack on wetlands
Comments: The initial barrier breach occurred in 2013, but tidal flow and waves went through the breach during this storm and the storm on 3/3. NPS has mapped the overwash width, analysis pending. It appears that water flowed up through the breach, to the parking lot and upland wetlands, depositing sand and leaving wrack behind.
