- The beach is eroding at a rate of 3 meters per year, exceeding previous predictions.
- Storm seasons are exacerbating the erosion, with last year’s storms causing significant damage.
- The Montrose golf links, over 460 years old, have already lost parts to the sea.
- The entire town is at risk of flooding as the dunes protecting it are eroding.
- Urgent maintenance is needed to prevent a breach in the dunes and subsequent flooding.
