Coastal Armoring Causes Beaches to Disappear
- "Scientific evidence shows that coastal armoring structures prevent coastal ecosystems from migrating inland and cut off sand supply by preventing natural erosion processes. Put simply, when placed on an eroding or retreating beach, armoring structures will cause that beach to narrow and eventually disappear." - excerpt from Stanford Law School's California Coastal Armoring Report.
