Coastal communities continually face challenges with worsening storms every year.​ January 2024 brought two devastating storms with astronomical high tides and storm surges that hasn't been seen in Maine in decades. 

Ferry Beach like many others along the coast experienced devastating beach damage with a great majority of dune & sand loss, some damage to our boardwalk along with significant flooding around our campus.
