The Day - Erosion of sand spit could threaten homes - News from southeastern Connecticut

Published July 26. 2021 12:47AM  FAIRFIELD (AP) A sand spit that protects part of the coastline straddling Fairfield and Bridgeport is eroding and could leave the area vulnerable to flooding and other damage if measures aren’t taken to replenish it, a local environmental group says. A report by a New York-based consultant has estimated that continued erosion and storms could make the spit disappear in 15 years, according to a report in the Connecticut Post. The spit acts like a sponge, and breaks the waves coming off Long Island Sound. Without it, the inland residential areas bordering Ash Creek as well as the tidal ecosystem within the creek could be threatened. Roughly 200 homes could be affected.
