Researchers saw a loss of more than 25 metres in some areas of Miminegash Harbour in the western part of the Island. The numbers are in for 2022, and Prince Edward Island lost a record amount of shoreline, according to researchers at UPEI's School of Climate Change and Adaptation.
Everything that we flew afterwards, which was somewhere around a dozen or 15 sites, we noticed absolutely huge changes.The pilot said the results were "jarring," and the coastline losses in western P.E.I. were particularly striking. He said they also saw a loss of more than 25 metres in some areas of Miminegash Harbour, from "just the direction of the winds and the direction of the storm.
UPEI School of Climate Change and Adaptation masters student Catherine Kennedy has been working on a coastal monitoring project for the last five years. "The knowledge that people hold that have lived in this area for long periods of time is not something that we can calculate when using a drone," she said.
