CoastSnap is a network of simple camera mounts at beaches that invite the public to take a photo and upload it to social media, using a specific hashtag. CoastSnap harnesses the power of crowdsourcing to record short- and long-term beach erosion and recovery. The station at Town Neck beach in Sandwich enables monitoring of a dune restoration project and overall erosion at the site.
