A January 16 article in the Peterborough Examiner, the Hamilton Spectator and the three Niagara dailies (St. Catharines Standard, Niagara Falls Review and Welland Tribune) discussed the recent damage done by Storm Elliot on beaches from Wainfleet to Fort Erie.
The article notes that Niagara College, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority and Town of Fort Erie teamed up with Niagara Coastal in October 2022 for a coastal day of action at the beach off Erie Road in Crystal Beach. The groups planted beach grass to re-establish a juvenile dune, providing a natural land barrier between the beach and local infrastructure.
The article also includes a quote from Niagara Coastal Executive Director, Gregary Ford about working with Niagara College on examining erosion and algae that builds to help restore Reebs Bay.
