Maine's beach dunes are slowly recovering from devastation during back-to-back coastal storms almost two years ago. But according to the latest state beach mapping data, Popham Beach is eroding faster than any other stretch of sand in Maine. "It kind of eats away and erodes all of the dunes that have accreted say in the last 5-10 years, and this process happens about every 10-15 years," Slovinsky said. Erosion is likely to continue until the river resumes its normal course, he added.
