Mecox Bay Inlet - Constructed Berm Post-Sandy (8.15.13)
Mecox Bay is sometimes open to the Atlantic - but the Town has bermed the inlet recently. Scouting for openings to paddle through - seems at present the same is true for Sagaponack Pond and Georgica Pond just east of Mecox. Was out that way doing work for the power authority and did a bit of scouting.

why did they town berm it off?
No idea really - although there's a perception that breaks in the barrier island will increase flooding in the bay. Main reason I think is that there's beach parking area and homes near the inlet so if it widens substantially it will impact these areas. Some years it's more open to the sea I hear. JIM
