The Mouth That Poured
Why do water levels in the lagoon look like they’re always high tide? The lagoon mouth has been closed for some time by a natural sand dam or “sill” formed via wave action.
State Parks tells us that the lagoon mouth has been scheduled to be opened with State operated heavy earth-moving equipment on May 13. This is great news for all life in the lagoon threatened by eutrophication*—the nasty end result of what most of us would call stagnation.
