For licensing contact [e-mail]. Taken at Montauk Point, NY on 8/27/2021of the Montauk shoreline reconstruction. Montauk Light was the first lighthouse in New York State, and is the fourth-oldest active lighthouse in the United States. Massive boulders the size of a small bathroom are getting maneuvered on the shoreline just as morning fog rolls in and covers the ground. If you look close you will see someone fishing in a red jacket, they give you a true perspective of the enormous size of the boulders.
"In January 2021, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, along with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, announced the award of a $30.7 million contract to create a revetment at Montauk Point and protect the Lighthouse from erosion. The revetment will involve the placement of 65,000 tons of boulders along a stretch of about 1,000 linear feet of shoreline, as well as slope stabilization with terracing and vegetation above the rocks. The Montauk Historical Society will monitor the work - slated to begin this spring - and will be responsible for maintaining the site after the project is complete." - Mia Certic, Executive Director, Montauk Historical Society
