Beach Nourishment Is Very Expensive And Temporary

"But beach nourishment is very expensive -- and may work only briefly. Ocean City, N.J., lost a $5 million beach in two months. In North Carolina, one particularly fierce storm washed away sand before the pumping project was complete." -excerpt from the Mercury News article, "Lines In Sand Don't Last" at http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/7173168.htm
