Description
A lone fence amid the sand dunes helps protect and build up the sand that buffers the ocean from the marsh on the north end of Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia. High tides driven by rising sea levels periodically breach the marsh. Hurricanes, although rarely actually striking the island, often drive waves that have at times caused major flooding of the marsh.
