At far right there are rock levees place in front of the homes. The beach extends out from the old shore line and gains depth. The levees push the sand that is "migrating" down the beach out into deeper water where it can not now replenish the sand bar at the mouth of the river. A small change to save the beach in front of the homes causes lose down stream of the "improvement". Coastal areas are by their nature transient at best in short and long time scales - add in a hard feature and you get this.
Levees aim to control the flow of water. These are groins. Groins are built to "dam" the longshore transport of sand driven by wave action. Groins are not designed to push sand into deeper water, but after sufficient sand has accumulated against a groin, sand will make it's way around around the tip of a groin, where the depth is indeed greater, but that is not what they were built to do. It just happens as an inadvertent consequence of groin construction.
When comparing between year 1934 and year 1986, after watching the changes (rather than progression) between those two years, I see that 1986 basically returned to the 1934 images. In other words, I have to believe that this might not be erosion as much as changes naturally occuring with or without humans around. These changes are now more prevelant but it will intersting to see in the future if honest people continue to provide undoctored data, that is; apples with apples images (such as taking them at the same time and date of the year) each year. .
Curious? Try this as an alternative hypothesis. When silt and sand stops flowing out of a river the beach disappears. Up river stabilization leads to beach erosion. This is because currents are continually moving sand away.
You certainly made a big mistake. Beach erosion is nothing to do with river. Beach erosion is caused by the ocean current. There are two types of current. Constructive current brings and deposits sand on the beach. Destructive current washes and takes away sand from the beach. In this case Old Lyme should have destructive current and caused the beach erosion.
@@kevingooley6189 It's coming across the beach from the right to the left in these pictures. The river outlet has been skewed left by this continuing right-left deposition of sand. The breakwaters in front of the houses send the sand coming across the beach into deeper water, not replenishing the sandbar. A storm (probably) breaks it, losing half of it's length, then another (probably) sweeps away the accumulating sand from the two island near the centre of picture.
Most importantly, we do not know if all of these images were taken at the same tide level. The difference between high and low tide will change the profile of the beach dramatically in photographs, even if compared in only one day, no less over 50 years.
What did you think was going to happen after the construction of the Groins? As soon as they were installed, the longshore current could not replace the western movement of sand. Starving the replenishment. In the future, when you see groins installed, buy the property in front of them because their beach will always grow but the down stream houses lose all of their property.
When you can absorb in your brain that the ocean makes up three quarters of the planet and the continents are constantly moving, and some in a downward direction it's going to look different over time. It's all the NORMAL evolution of the planet. God is so good.
I wish that there had been several series of rapid switches between scenes like an old time flicker movie so I could have seen the erosion. I could not fathom the changes between slides because it was so slow. Great concept though. I do agree that it is a natural process that has been made into a story by the encroachment of man on natural processes AGAIN.
Just the mouth of a river inlet doing what it does. One flood or storm would was it out and then over a year or two gentle waves and alongshore currents bring it back
Only the most recent images are satellite. The early ones are actual aerial photographs from a statewide airplane survey over many decades beginning in the 1930s.
And human power by their engineering and constructing 2 dams upstream to block and interfere with Mother Nature's sediment flow to the ocean for 85 years. This is not rising sea levels..
It's weird where they filled in the swimming pool after 1965 and changed into a green space which has remained green, and everything else was green has been built and paved over.

After once through, I paused it and then used the floating preview window to move to each period as a still. It made it easy to compare periods in sequence that I wanted to.
You also have to take into consideration the fact that the eastern end of North America is slowly sinking into the Atlantic Ocean by about 1 mm per year. After 82 years, that's 8.2 centimeters, or 3.5 inches difference.
@@bryanchandler3486 It's not about subduction. That's where two mantle plates collide. During the last ice age, the huge weight of the glacier that covered much of North America caused the central portion of the continent to depress. Once the ice melted, the central portion of North America began slowly rising, and the eastern part of the continent is slowly sinking into the Atlantic Ocean. Global warming compounds the problem, but the eastern part of North America will continue to sink, and there is nothing we can do about it.
So what? It's just a natural process. The sad, nostalgic music is totally misplaced here. Things erode. So what? It's akin to crying over a rusty fence.

Connecticut is a pretty Liberal, Eco-consious area of highly educated affluent citizens . Notice how while they tout the hazards of global warming , rising of sea levels and the danger of overpopulation the housing development in the lower right corner becomes congested over the span of this segment.
Interesting photos for discussion. Also interesting are some of the comments where people ascribe an "agenda" to this presentation or dive off the deep end with generalizations about liberal, environmentalist Connecticut citizens. I guess people just can't help themselves sometimes. Now I would like to see a collection of time lapse photos for the Louisiana coastline. Whole villages are nearly gone - storms, rising sea level, and land subsidence are all taking their toll over just 70 years.
Wait? Ten million? Extrapolate back, what would have happened if this area was even just one million? That's over 12,000 times more erosion than what you saw in this video. Take a look at the documentary "Operation Lighthouse Rescue" and see what has actually been recored in just the last 300 years. PS, Love the name! My Ravens everywhere rely on you in winter...

Mother Nature does what she wants. Volcanos exploding, earth quakes constantly occurring, and every natural disaster that occurs with every exploding volcano changes the land scape. ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD or having mankind removed will not change Mother Natures ways….
Geologists only talk and think in millions of years. They have different methods for determining the age of rock layers. However, there is one small problem. Ancient books tell us that a cycle of natural disasters threatens the earth and all living things. The cause of this cycle of disasters is a ninth planet in our solar system orbiting the sun in an eccentric orbit. Features of the natural disaster include a massive tidal wave, higher than the highest mountain, flooding, storms, rain, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and a fiery asteroid bombardment. That planet is surrounded by a gigantic twisting cloud of dust and meteorites. That cloud obscures the atmosphere, pollutes the water and covers the whole planet Earth with that dust. At the end of the crossing of this planet 9, the earth is covered with a horizontal layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of sea and land animals, shells and the deposit of that dust cloud and asteroids. So every layer on our planet contains material with the same antiquity, perhaps many millions of years old: the deposit of extraterrestrial clay and meteorites. If you don't know about this cycle, you have no idea how our history has evolved. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the re-creation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9
Isn't erosion, is all about cycles of creation and destruction over and over in a cycles of 27000 year's, wake up human's you don't even knows were you live.
Yeah, this is the type of science I want to see more of! I've been studying rain water erosion and it's affects since 1976, and I got to tell you it is happening 10 to 100 times faster than the 1800's science we are slaves to. Real science, in real time.

That's wild, 90 to 2000 it changed dramatically. The rivers and jank changing, pretty cool. Power of water.
A clear demonstration of why it's very unwise to build on barrier islands or dunes - but it's been done along a great many coastlines anyway.

This is not a rising ocean. It is probably the result of daming upriver which stops the sediment from flowing to the ocean.
I looked, there are at least two dams upstream
And levees up the coast - see the right edge sand piles up and gets deeper then when full pushes the sand to deeper water.
The ocean is indeed rising, most places 9 inches per century going back hundreds of years
Just the mouth of a river inlet doing what it does. One flood or storm would was it out and then over a year or two gentle waves and alongshore currents bring it back
