A project aiming to protect and rebuild the shoreline at Cedar Dunes Provincial Park is complete. The province has been adding offshore reefs near the West Point lighthouse since 2021 and the final two have just been installed.The provincial government says it's seen a quick transformation in the shoreline since the first five reefs were installed in 2022.
"It's going to be very interesting over the next few months for me to go out take a look, take a walk along that beach and see just the impact that the additional reefs have had," said Hudson.Cedar Dunes Provincial Park is in West Point. It's home to the Island's tallest lighthouse, which is almost 150 years old and has a reputation for being haunted by its former keepers.Giant rock reefs have been built along the shore of Cedar Dunes Provincial Park, P.E.I.
"The sediment in the water column drops out to the sea floor, attaches to the existing sand beach, and builds outwards to the reefs, essentially where the beach used to be located." "We figure if the reefs weren't there, about half of the Cedar Dunes campground would have been lost," he said. "It's been real gratifying and satisfying work so far, and to see it work so quickly is really, really positive for us," said Thompson.
