Major storms within the last year swept large swaths of beach and sand dunes away from some of Maine’s coastline. And newly compiled data show just how bad the erosion was. “We did see some substantial erosion from these storms, up to and over 100 feet of dunes were lost in some areas like Popham Beach. Fifty feet of dunes were lost in Wells, 50 feet of dune in Goose Rocks Beach, over 50 feet at Reid State Park,” Maine Geological Survey Marine Geologist Peter Slovinsky said.
