Survey results, documentary video highlight coastal community views on coastal changes

Property owners along Maine's sandy beaches are noticing higher water levels during storms and increased erosion. A recent landslide in Stockton Springs was a reminder for residents along other parts of the Maine coast that they also are vulnerable to extreme weather patterns like this summer's record rainfall. These effects are expected to intensify with predictions of altered precipitation patterns and a rise in sea level of two feet or more in coming decades.
