State and county government does that here between Port Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet spending millions of $ every year and within a year or three it needs to be done again. It’s beginning to look like folks here have had it with beach replenishment and will not vote the funds again. Big waste of $ and time and it’s only delaying the inevitable.
In the Gloucester Times and Boston.com (The Boston Globe online), there are many comments against spending public funds to continually replenish/reinforce beaches. After the Perfect Storm of October 1991, I never want to live on a vulnerable shoreline. My gallery on Tuna Wharf in Rockport was devastated, and the building that I lived in on Rocky Neck had surge damage to the bottom floor. All of my neighbor’s possessions were damaged and many were taken out to sea when the tide went out. I spent the rest of the night helping carry her belongings up to the next floor.
Love Barefoot Beach! Surprised they have such an erosion problem because they don’t get much pounding surf…….it’s on the Gulf. We try to visit it every year when we are on vacation in southwest Florida.
