Shoreline Engineering
- There is no erosion
problem until a structure is built on the shoreline. Beach erosion is
a common expected event, not a natural disaster.
- Construction by
man on the shoreline causes shoreline changes.
- Shoreline engineering
protects the interests of very few, often at a very high cost in Federal
and state dollars.
- Shoreline engineering
destroys the beach it was intended to save.
- The cost of saving
beach property through shoreline engineering is usually greater than
the value of the property to be saved.
- Once you begin
shoreline engineering, you can't stop.
