    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The numbers are in for 2022, and Prince Edward Island lost a record amount of shoreline, according to researchers at UPEI’s School of Climate Change and Adaptation.

    The loss in some places was so extreme that the measuring pegs a coastal monitoring research project had been using for seven years were clawed away into the ocean.

    “Everything that we flew afterwards, which was somewhere around a dozen or 15 sites, we noticed absolutely huge changes, especially on the North Shore and on the western coast of P.E.I.,” MacDonald said.

    MacDonald said the biggest shoreline loss was reported at Cape Gage Road, a new site added last year on the western coast of P.E.I.

    Catherine Kennedy is a masters student at the UPEI School of Climate Change and Adaptation, and has worked on peg-line coastal monitoring for the last five years.

    Kennedy said the peg-line project is important to coastal monitoring because it gives researchers the opportunity to connect with the community when they travel around the Island.
