Saltaire suffered only relatively minor erosion — some scouring, but no damage to the dunes, stairs, fencing, etc. No scarping at all. Scouring never got closer to the dunes than about 10 feet in one limited area, farther away everywhere else. The sand is still in our system and the project seems to be doing its job.
