Creative Photography - Sunrise; Beach Restoration
A beautiful sunrise is captured over sand dunes at the beach at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 15, 2020. Teams at Kennedy are working on dune restoration efforts, which has included bringing about 450,000 cubic yards of beach-quality sand in to Kennedy’s beaches to build up dunes that have been affected by beach erosion and storm surges. Once the dunes were built up, native coastal vegetation was replanted to help stabilize the dunes and provide a habitat for wildlife at the Florida spaceport. The first phase of dune restoration efforts are now complete, and the second phase is scheduled to be completed by March 2021.
