Standing Up Against Costly Beach Fill
- "Every time we try, Mother Nature always wins," said [Florida's Volusia]County Councilman Carl Persis, who voted against the [$6 million beach fill] grant. "We are never going to be able to stop nor'easters, tornadoes, hurricanes, or that strange current coming in right now that's dropping red sand on our beaches." Saving the coastline, he said, "is not about putting more sand on the beach." - excerpt from this Orlando Sentinel article.
