Beach renourishment is only a bandaid which we spend millions upon millions of dollars on and it only gets washed out to sea because you can't stop Mother Nature. When you change the flow, such as cutting an inlet, channels for boaters, jettys for boaters, fill in wetlands or clearing dunes for development or constructing high rises on the ocean front or river fronts then you're bound to have repurcusions. Be prepared to continue spending the millions. Just think where those millions could be spent for the betterment of human kind & nature if we enforced officials & developers to do what's right instead of what would increase their bottom line. You can increase the economy substantially by making right choices and being responsible.
