Figure 4. The north shore of Rockland is an example of where the classification has changed over time. A landslide in 1996 resulted in a significant loss of land on and above a coastal bluff. Subsequent grading of the land and construction of riprap engineering along some parts of the shore altered the coastal bluff to make it more stable so a map change along part of the shore is in order. 4a. A portion of the Rockland Coastal Bluffs map showing the landslide area. 4b. Aerial photo of the landslide. 4c. The landslide area after remediation.
