Abstract

In summer, Camp Ellis moves at its own carefree pace. But beneath the sultry calm, the beach enclave is waging a desperate battle with rising seas. Saco's title as the town with the most erosive coastline in Maine is the result of a poorly designed jetty, and sand gobbling storms. Residents fear the impending loss of more of their beloved beach, homes and streets as the Army Corps of Engineers tries to devise a strategy to combat the problems.
