NORTH MAGNOLIA BEACH WORST
 |
| Windblown sand erosion |
The bad new is that Winter storms took another big bite out of some of the city's beaches and shoreline; the good news is part of a new $6.5 million grant is supposed to be used to implement a Beach Management Plan developed three years ago to mitigate the erosion.
Erosion (wind and water) in the area of the Pier Street boat ramp seems to always be the most severe; stratification shows layers of the old natural (darker in color) and new sand (trucked in periodically as replenishment).
