Barrier Beaches Naturally Move

"These highly dynamic land forms migrate in response to sea level rise accelerated by global warming. The beaches are not disappearing, washing away or being destroyed, as the media so often claim, but are moving and reshaping themselves as they react to the forces of nature. The problem is when we build on those beaches and then attempt to stop them from moving beneath us." - excerpt from op-ed in The Salem News.
