Climate Change and the Erosion of Plum Island

Plum Island is a barrier island on north east coast of Massachusetts. The sandy beach is slowly receding, and the houses built there are particularly impacted by coastal storms. As the oceans rise, the future of these precarious places remains to be seen.
Below is a google image search of the effects of the erosion in 2015, followed by two images I made on the sand dunes.
