Paul Simon’s oceanfront home in danger of slip sliding away

New York - Arab Today
Paul Simon’s cottage on eastern Long Island is in danger of slip sliding away.
Newsday reports the singer-songwriter’s home in Montauk, New York, is being moved back 24.3 meters from the edge of a bluff.
It’s part of an effort to save the home from erosion.
A geologist consulting on the project, Wendi Goldsmith, says work began in February to temporarily move the one-storey cottage a safe distance from the drop-off.
A 15.2-metre buffer of native vegetation will be planted as part of the effort.
Simon’s summer home is about 6 metres from the bluff’s edge, facing the Atlantic Ocean.
He could not be reached for comment.
