Seawalls Kill Beaches

"There are larger policy questions about the seawall that are being raised by environmental groups Save The Bay, the Conservation Law Foundation and the Surfrider Foundation, which all oppose hardening the coast with revetments or bulkheads because the structures often deflect waves and hasten erosion elsewhere. The groups are worried about setting a precedent." - excerpt from article in Providence Journal.
