Notes from an Environmentalist; Clarke Beach Erosion and possible fix. Ipswich, MA.

We dodged a bullet but Clarke Road destroyed by recent storms. This photo shows how boulders accelerate waves and increased scour immediately behind the wall. Sand filled coir bags and a seasonal Mobi-mat might be less expensive and more hardy than rebuilding wall every year. Tudy Bartlett. Rocks also had to be pushed back at Pavillion Beach.
