Perhaps not erosion as much as loss of vegetation, this tiny island set out in the lagoon north of Ennumet is getting even smaller. The top photo is from September 2013.

November 2011.

October 2013. The sand is mostly gone, leaving bare rocks that were not too condusive to plant growth. Only one palm and a small tree remain.
