[28] An Ocean's Bite

Rows of newly planted dune grass are swallowed up by the Atlantic Ocean following a weekend of rough surf and heavy winds along the US East Coast.

The dunes and the grass on them are man made attempts to protect lives and homes during storm surges such as the one this past weekend. Clearly they worked, but now some beach replenishment will be taking place to restore and prepare for the next storm.
