The erosion problem started in 2017 with Hurricane Nate and has only gotten worse, with Sally in 2020 and several severe winter storms.
“FEMA will reimburse a percentage that we lost for the two storms. Then, we’ll have some additional sand that we’ve lost through natural erosion that the city will be paying for but all in all, the project is north of twenty million dollars for the three entities,” said Mark Acreman, a Gulf Shores city engineer.
“We were kind of wondering why that dock back there…the sand didn’t touch the water and wondering if they were going to do something about it, you know. It’s actually sad because you can’t even walk down there without getting wet too.”
