The sun sets on newly-erected wooden beach fencing, Sept. 27, 2019, in Mexico Beach, Florida. The fencing helps mitigate erosion and encourages the formation of sand dunes, which protect the beach from wind and storms during hurricanes. It is against the law on most beaches to walk or drive over the dunes, which are an important part of the coastal ecosystem. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
