The borough is going to pilot a beach-scraping project where sand is taken from the low-tide water line and moved to the dry beach as a means of combating erosion.
Stone Harbor suffers erosion of the berm on many of its beaches following the replenishments as natural wave action moves sand to the south, depositing much of it at the protected Stone Harbor Point.
Neighboring Avalon was a pioneer of a process since labeled back passing, where sand from areas that naturally replenish is scraped up and trucked to north end beaches that often experience erosion.
