Beach Fill Projects Can Degrade Wave Quality
- "John Hearin, Vice-Chairman of the Cocoa Beach Surfrider chapter, has just completed his doctoral dissertation on the effects of the sand dredgings on Cocoa Beach’s waves." [...] "The renourishments altered the seafloor and transformed Cocoa Beach from a “dissipative” surf zone (which broke at all tides) to an “intermediate-reflective” one, effectively a tidal dependent beach with a narrow surf zone and more closeouts." - excerpts from article in The Beachside Resident.
