More Beach Fill and Coastal Armoring in South Carolina

"This week, workers will begin pumping about 1 million cubic yards of sand from offshore onto a one-mile stretch between the Westin Resort and the Beach House in Port Royal Plantation [...]. The work aims to combat a decade of erosion that has claimed about 80 to 100 feet of beachfront a year. [...] The town also will build a 700-foot-long wall made of granite boulders to stabilize the eroding beachfront." - excerpt from article in The island Packet.
