The natural foredune at Kismet has been displaced inland and completely eroded
in portions of the community. However, a reconstructed foredune has been created
to replace it far seaward of its former position (Fig. 3.10). Through the past three
decades, the trend of the position of the natural foredune crestline at this location

intermittently placed on the foredune, fences are erected, and various methods are applied to
retain the sand ridge in place, Davis Park
