Loosing Fence | HFF

Coastal zones face many threats from the past and changing climate. In this image we see the impact of hurricane #Florence on the dunes of Oak Island, North Carolina. In a previous time, this home had constructed a sand fence to slow the air and build the sand dunes. Waves from the hurricane eroded the dune, exposing the fence posts. However, the dune did provide one of its ecological services by protecting the home nestled behind the dune.
