| Summary: | The spring and fall surveys of 2013 were essential in determining the quantitative impact of Hurricane Sandy. All Brigantine sites were surveyed immediately prior to Sandy in October 2012 while Absecon Island’s five locations were done in December, after the storm. Data collected at the 10 oceanfront beach profile locations cover the municipal beaches from the City of Brigantine Beach to the Borough of Longport. Little Beach on Pullen Island to the north of Brigantine is a natural area and is not included in the NJBPN program. Aerial photography post-Sandy does show overwash of the Little Beach Island’s central portion with shoreline retreat now at a dune system that first developed in the 1880’s and had remained well inland since then. |
