Hurricane Hanna & IKE

In September of 2008, Hanna a Category 3 hurricane stopped over Middle Caicos for 72 hours decimating the island, four days later Ike a Category 4 hurricane passed over the same spot. Only days before the first storm hit, this test beach was treated with ShoreLock. The test beach not only withstood the storm, it actually accreted sand and stabilized the treated beach while neighboring beaches were completely washed out. 

What We Have Achieved

  • Critically eroding shorelines stabilized

  • 1,000's of cubic yards of sand accreted naturally

  • Up to eighteen feet of depth added through accretion

  • Up to 12" of elevation added through accretion

  • Established new sea turtle nest grounds on previously un-usable beach

  • Protection of nearshore coral reefs by offering an alternative to soft renourishment dredging

  • Maintained stable coastal conditions after Cat 3 and Cat 4 Hurricanes passed over test location 7 days apart
