Beach Fill Can Alter the Surf - Forever

"As a lifeguard, I have seen the impact of beach replenishment on those who dare to enter into the shore-break created by the artificial shoreline we now witness in Delaware south to Ocean City. What was once a gentle wave rolling across a sandbar and onto the shore where children could play and grandmothers could wade the shallows, is now an impact zone where the full energy of the waves crash directly onto the shore." - excerpt from article by Ron Phillips.
