I do not think this area can be saved either.
Here are some photos to show the tax money spent trying to do just that though.
I say buy all the homes, knock them down and give us back a wild and serene
beach and stop fighting Mother Nature!
A costly machine sent in to pump sand from the Merrimack River
back up onto Salisbury Beach to help with erosion.
Sand travels up hundreds of feet of these pipes
All the while the sea comes and takes it back out at low tide
Hard to see what is going on but that mess is sand and water being thrown back up onto the beach
Where large heavy equipment pushes it around and try to reclaim a beach
not really to sunbathe on but to protect the homes here as well from the tides
that come ever 12 hours and either throw things up on the shoreline or haul off the
sand at low tide.
This went on for weeks, hour after hour.
I will take a photo this week, to show you what it looks like today, just 2 years later.








Reblogged this on 20 LINES A DAY – an exercise in discipline.
Hard to fight Mother Nature, she usually wins. Not very smart either.
That’s what I am saying take homes and let the sea roll in!
Wow! I am interested to see the picutres of how it looks today. I have a sneaky suspicion that it is not positive for the beach. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks and correct like it was never built back up! :(
OMG, I can’t believe this is happening. What a waste of money. I understand the drive for self-preservation, but this is for preservation of ‘things’ not self. People should start lifting their houses if they insist on staying there.
I am glad it was clear enough for you to see what I do :)
Very clear. I love photo essays anyway, but this one has such a strong story to go with it.
THANKS! You could spend a week reading all my posts
I am new so they just keep coming lol
Wonderful Me and my family love traveling and are fanatics about trips a lot of this information was very useful. I have been seeing other countries for 11 weeks and I can not get enough of it. I will exercise this info for when we go traveling in the future.
