Great Diamond Island is an island in Casco Bay, Maine.
Photos taken at this site will help monitor and document changes to the area of Great Diamond Island that endures some of the most aggressive erosion from storm surge and sea level rise. Additionally, seasonal changes will be documented, including Spring and Summer photos that will catalog changes in vegetation, and Winter photos that will record changes in the sea wall.
At low tide the monitoring station is accessible to pedestrians walking along the beach. A wooden staircase with a small sign that says OCT↑ gives safe passage to the monitoring post located at the top of the steps.
The OCT monitoring site is located on private property, therefore, we urge visitors to be respectful.
