Southern Maine Volunteer Beach Profile Monitoring Program

As we weather this most recent storm, here is a look at the impact of the storm just before Christmas on one of our profiles in Ogunquit. The x-axis is in meters and gets closer to the water as the numbers get higher. The y-axis is in centimeters and shows the elevation of the sand. You can see the loss of sand near the dunes from the storm. You can check out the profiles from all the beaches in our program at:
