Once Natural Beach Processes are Interrupted, It's Difficult to Duplicate Them
- "The plant, which sits on the north inlet jetty just off Singer Island, gathers sand from north of the inlet and pumps it through a pipe to North End beaches. Its purpose is to re-create the natural flow of sand, which was interrupted when the federal government built the Lake Worth Inlet. But sand volume decreased the past three years and is on track to be low this year, according to town officials." - excerpt from article Palm Beach Daily News.
