Cement wall put up to slow down erosion along a portion of the Pacific coastline in the city of Moclips.
Erosion caused by Conner Creek's northern migration in the last several years. It has cut dangerously close to a number of houses in the background.
Erosion taking place near the South Jetty at Pt. Brown. Residents along this coastline collectively decided to build this large wall of rocks in hopes of preventing damage to their large homes.

Same area once again a bit south of the previous homes. This picture is significant because it has not been protected by the wall of rocks, but lies closer to the south jetty. Because of its closer location to the jetty, it may be safer than the other houses. However waves will most likely eventually crash through the jetty.

Two views of the shoreline, or lack of one, at Cape Shoalwater, also known as Washaway Beach to locals. This is near the city of North Cove. The coastline has receded because of strong waves and longshore drift which has moved sand from this beach further northward.
