Aerial photos taken before and after nourishment show that ~180 ft of dry beach were added in front of the houses during the project, and the nourished beach remained healthy after Hurricane Irene and fall storms. Bottom left bar-figure indicates the accumulative beach volume changes relative to pre-project conditions (November 2011) from the foredune to the indicated contours. Fully 100% of the volume placed has been retained within the project limits during the first year.
