Plum Island is perilously close to falling into the sea. The generator house has already been lost due to erosion. "If the erosion is not stopped, it will one day claim the lighthouse."
"After 21 years of abandonment and neglect, there's now hope for the 1869 lighthouse on the west end of Plum Island."
