A closer image of Shishmaref and how erosion is endangering the entire town. I also scanned this picture from an issue of the Nome Nugget. The caption reads, "Erosion Control--The bird's eye view of the west end of Shishmaref shows the 450-foot long Kawerak seawall built last year. It ends in front of the teacher housing, the red roofed building located. Babions--sand filled bags in steel mesh cages--block some of the brunt of the sea.The Corps of Engineers plan a 230-foot seawall project right in front of the teacher housing. Further to the east, a city project is underway to continue the riprap seawall." Photo by Diana Haecker.
