What is the Erosion Monitoring Program?
The Erosion Monitoring Program collects coastal processes data and information along the Atlantic coast of New York from Coney Island to Montauk Point. The data includes beach profile surveys, photographs of the beach from the air, historical information, and wave measurements. The information is available from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NY District Office, New York State Sea Grant Offices at Stony Brook, or from the Department of State, Division of Coastal Resources. With this information scientists, planners, regulators and others can better plan for and predict coastal conditions.
