Plum Island – April 2009 - Plum Island Sound has experienced some trouble with some unfortunate visitors climbing the artificial sandbag dune, tearing out the recently planted dune grass.
The dunes are quite fragile as certain areas of the Plum Island Sounds have been experiencing erosion issues, some losing homes and lands, especially for the wildlife of the area. The grass is an intricate part of keeping the sand in place, especially in storms what create a high tide or surf. A reconstructed fence will need to be secure to keep visitors off the grass and away from the dunes.
Plum Island is now looking for volunteers to help with the reconstruction of a fence, in hopes to keep visitors off the sandbags.
