Along the beachfront, there was still debris left from the storm (as well as winds that guested to more than 40 m.p.h. on Saturday) but the sand was wet, but intact. It is important to note that the dunes themselves \u2013 which were not visibly impacted at all by the storm \u2013 are not yet anchored down by vegetation, the key to shoring up the barrier that protects in the integrity of the island.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13704\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/BBIII_35.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13704\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13704\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/BBIII_35-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Brick Beach III, Nov. 4, 2018.

The berm of the beach \u2013 the swath of sand where sun-worshipers set up their chairs \u2013 generally remained where it was before the storm struck, and some of the tide pools seen in Ortley Beach after the nor\u2019easter didn\u2019t form at Brick Beach III or Brick Beach I.<\/p>\n<p>The dunes themselves were completely solid and there did not appear to be any erosion.<\/p>\n<p>During presentations given by the state Department of Environmental Protection and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, officials have said the berm will find a natural balance and be reduced in size over time. But the engineered dunes will remain intact and the sand that is lost won\u2019t go far. Indeed, one of the goals of the project is to have sand form an invisible bar slightly offshore from the beach which will absorb wave energy and weaken the flow of water on the beachfront. In other words, some of the sand is meant to be taken out to sea \u2013 and that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13707\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/BBIII_storm_res.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13707\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/BBIII_storm_res-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Brick Beach III, Nov. 4, 2018.
