Primary Threat: Bay Silting Dynamics & Atlantic Tidal Storm Surges
Rising Atlantic storm surges and shifting sand sediment banks threaten to re-silt the bay, while extreme tidal high-water marks regularly threaten surrounding dike systems.
The Sanctuary & Its Fragile Ground
Located on the salt-meadow coast with direct line of sight to the soaring granite spire of the Abbey, this restored stone cottage offers a contemplation of natural rhythms. Watch the ocean gallop in 'at the speed of a horse' twice daily, while learning about fragile intertidal bird feeding ecosystems.
