Bluff Erosion
The Mohegan Bluffs have suffered continuous erosion, and the edge of the cliff gradually approached the established site of Block Island Southeast Light. The lighthouse was originally placed 300 feet (91 m) from the edge of the Mohegan Bluffs, but in 1993 was moved back 360 feet (110 m) because the bluffs had eroded roughly 250 feet (76 m).
