- Description
-
This image (Bulls Island, South Carolina) captures the natural process of beach erosion and barrier Island migration along the east coast of North America. Once a thriving center for Native Americans, this Island had mature maritime forest cover. Rising sea level, reduced sand supply from main land due to dams, and the natural process of long-shore current, which transports millions of tons of sand every yead down the coast all have contributed to the erosion of the northen end of this Island significantly to the limit that the forest once stood inland is now on the beach. Exposed to the elements of salt water, rough waves, and wind, the trees die resulting in a skeletal forest called Boneyard Beach!
I want to thank Daniel Myles and Stephen Nelson for carrying the heavy gear needed for this photo on a 5 mile hike on this Island.
