What occurred
In the 1970s, citizens of Montauk started noticing that up at Montauk Bluffs due to loose gravel and lack of care and attention, that erosion has been going on for decades and the bluffs have eroded over 15 feet. Montauk has moved walking trails further inland accordingly and have put up signs and railings to prevent people and cars from getting to close to the edge.
