Thanks to Dr. Charles Flagg of Stony Brook for the Update:  Check out his work on the history and evolution of the Old Inlet Wilderness Breach here. 

Dr. Charles Flagg took another flight over the Breach at Old Inlet on Fire Island on July 13th, 2018.  The flyover mosaic is available below.

Mark Lang has assembled all the geo-referenced photo mosaics into a kml file that can be viewed using Google Earth.  By clicking between images and using the fade in-out button you can clearly see how the inlet is changing with time.  An offline version of the KML file is available as KMZ. The full size image is also available.

For more information, please visit Dr. Charles Flagg’s website.
