Comments: Substantial erosion/recession of bluff at the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge headquarters on Morris Island. This area has been receding at an accelerated rate for the past 2 years since the outer beach (South Beach) has eroded away exposing the location to the open Atlantic. Erosion from this storm was significant and was expected. Concern mounting on possible need to remove upland structures including an unmanned National Weather Service facility.
