Sandbag Seawalls are Seawalls - and Lead to Beach Loss

"The new rule will certainly lead to an increase in the rate of beach loss and an ever-increasing bill to the state taxpayers for beach replenishment to replace the lost beaches. The new rule will also reduce turtle nesting, prevent nesting of beach birds such as the endangered piping plovers and make access difficult for beachgoers." - excerpt from Op-Ed by Orrin Pilkey in The News&Observer.
