More Rip-Rap Means Less Beach
- "In natural areas where there are sand stone cliffs, the waves beat at the cliffs and to some extent compensate for the sand lost to high tides. But in an areas with riprap, the waves can't reach the cliffs. The problem is compounded by the waves scouring the sand away from the riprap." - excerpt from article at oregonlive.com.
