Residents concerned after landowner builds large seawall at popular South Shore beach

Landowners in Lunenburg County are raising concerns about a seawall built along the shoreline of Little Crescent Beach near West Dublin, N.S. The small beach is popular among locals. It sits at the end of Crescent Beach, a long stretch where people have been able to pull their vehicles up and enjoy their day next to the ocean for decades. But some of the landscape has changed. "It seems there has been some reconstruction of the natural habitat with the removal of grasslands and trees," said Lucy Hendrixson, who grew up in the area.
