Dunes are a Nature-Friendly Response to Erosion

"Instead of building back the shoreline, the agency used beach sand from a project at nearby Patrick Air Force Base to build, over about seven months earlier this year, a second, mile-long line of dunes inland from the area where the erosion was occurring.
