Artificial reef would allow sand pumping

[wreckdiver1715]

Brevard County Florida officials want to build a seawall ?Artificial Reef? at the outer reefs from Patrick AFB, South to Indian Harbor Beach. This is part of an effort to rebuild and refurbish beaches that have been eroded by hurricanes. Hmmm these are the same folks that damaged our beaches by trucking in tones of ?dirt? from the mainland to renew the beaches following last year?s hurricanes. http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051114/NEWS01/511140343/-1/archives This plan could possibly destroy many shipwreck archaeology sites along this stretch of east central Florida coast, in addition to the adverse environmental impact that it will have on fishing and turtle nesting.

Maybe you should point them to the same department that stops you guys working shipwrecks or at least insist they have 12 archaeologist working with them to see fair play. Although 12 could never agree on anything it would save the beach till the next hurricane

Firstly if they can achieve that for 8-11 million I would be amazed (but then you can never believe lying Politicians anyway so I guess thats a given )
and secondly where do they think all those concrete mattresses will end up after the next hurricane ??
