Beaches are Not Static
- “The real conflict of the beach is not between sea and shore […] but between Man and Nature. On the beach, Nature has achieved a dynamic equilibrium that is alien to Man and his static sense of equilibrium. Once a line has been established, whether it be a shoreline or a property line, Man unreasonably expects it to stay put” - excerpt from the book "Where beaches have been going : into the ocean" by Gary Soucie (Smithsonian, 1973) that was quoted in an article by Tony Butts on Patagonia's blog.
