Accumulated sand east of the existing parking lot will be redistributed to provide a low-crested protective berm and beach. Facilities will be constructed above mean sea level to support coastal adaptation. This project supports the National Park Service plan for Herring Cove that considers potential for future erosion, coastal flooding during storm events, long-term sustainability, restoring natural systems to the greatest extent possible, and retaining recreational experiences.
