Barrier Island Change at Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, New Jersey

Aerial photos record 89 years of landscape change at the Little Beach barrier island in Atlantic County, New Jersey. The island, part of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, is one of the only stretches of wild coast remaining in the northern Mid-Atlantic region. It is continually reshaped by the interplay of hydrodynamic processes, sand supply, and vegetation.
