Galveston: Groomed Beaches Aren't Natural
- "Too often, visitors expect to see a theme park instead of a natural area. Too often, islanders try to accommodate the expectations of visitors in counterproductive ways. We scrape seaweed off the beach, which increases erosion and inhibits the development of dunes, which can stabilize eroding beaches and protect against storm surge." - excerpt from article in The Daily News.
