Proposed Sea Wall along the Beach in Rincon, PR

"The proposed sea wall [to protect the newly constructed Sandy Beach Apartments] is not only a direct violation of a legally binding agreement, but as we know from Rincóns Balneario, a gabion sea wall will result in a hazard for beachgoers, effectively ruining the beach and likely exacerbating an already difficult beach erosion problem. All of this destruction will be the disastrous result of an inappropriately permitted project." - quote from Surfrider's Leon Richter; quote appears in Surfrider's press release.
