Description:The 2022 State of Maine’s Beaches Report is part of a series of reports that coincide with the biennial Beaches Conference. This version of the report summarizes observed changes at Maine beaches that are monitored as part of the State of Maine Beach Profiling Project (SMBPP; Maine Sea Grant, 2017) and the Maine Beach Mapping Program (MBMAP) from 2007 to 2022, as data is available. The SMBPP uses trained volunteers to collect monthly beach profiles that start at a benchmark (in the frontal dune or in a seawall) and continue shore-perpendicular to roughly the low water line. Fixed starting locations are used with the Emery Method of beach profiling (Emery, 1961). Data are entered by volunteers into an MGS Collect online database where it can be viewed, graphed, and downloaded by others. SMBPP is funded and managed by the Maine Geological Survey (MGS), University of Maine, Maine Sea Grant, and Maine Coastal Program.
