When Hurricane Earl’s eye passed 80 miles to the east of Bermuda on September 9th, we were spared from major wind damage however we were still impacted by the resulting high seas.
Though it ended up being not as bad as expected, Nonsuch’s South beach was still eroded. Watch the video below for Jeremy’s description.
Anticipating that this might happen the Nonsuch Expeditions and DENR teams preemptively removed a 5-month collection of Ocean Plastics that was being stored temporarily on the side of the dunes. It was being amassed there during the beach cleans being conducted every time the team visit the island as part of an ongoing project being sponsored by Axis.
Stay tuned for the next update after our Hurricane Fiona assessment.
