Shortage of Sand....and Beaches....?

I used to always listen this song before surfing monster NorEaster Winter Swells….Yeah *****!

 

Glad to have you back. Pilkey Schmilkey! Alot of the sand on the beach gets washed off shore and then it gets blown back to shore, the rest gets washed up behind the barrier islands into the flats. Sea level rise will be problematic, and if I were a stockholder in any large insurance underwriters I would sell sell sell. The Florida Inland Navigational District (FIND) gets paid for eating and paid for $hitting. They pump sand out of the inlets, and get paid. then they sell the sand to beach towns, and get paid. I am in the wrong business. Sandman Rules!

 

that america and israel become one.
and, if that doesn't work;
(we were right; should've listened to us).
i mean whats a chosen people to do?

 

Yea...Pilky's an idiot..

Do you think artificial surfing reefs can help slow down erosion? — Chad Nelsen, San Clemente, Calif.

Orin Pilky: Whether artificial surfing reefs slow down erosion or not depends on the local situation. The problem is that such reefs may reduce the wave input to a beach and cause sand to be deposited. That may sound good, but trapping of sand is usually stealing of sand from some other beach. However, under just the right and, I think, unusual circumstances, such artificial reefs can be beneficial to local beaches. The proposed site needs to be studied carefully, and if possible, the reefs should be made adjustable or removable in case they cause erosion.M

 

Is this wrong?

 

There will always be someone with a different agenda than yourself. Issues are only created within opposing opinions. The human species wont ever have the most sustainable answer to nature, all we can do is reduce our impact while we are here. Maybe time travel and slap the **** out of the first dude that decided his mansion is going on the sand.

As for that two suns thing, chich it would be cool to partake in whatever it is that your smoking, I wonder if nibiru cataclysm could debunk the theory of rainbows for me... something about light through water creating color just doesn't seem like a happy place...reflections are warnings!

The world (in human terms) is ****ed because too many humans spend too much time trying to explain/fix the unexplainable rather than just surviving.

 

Sorry... my sarcasm isn't translating well.

If you've read a lot of his work, there's a lot Pilky says that either people don't agree with, or just think he's crazy. Personally, there's a lot of what he says that I agree with, including the above statement... one of the smartest things I've ever heard anybody say about the potential of artificial reefs to mitigate beach erosion. I've said it here before... I'm for artificial reefs along the New Jersey coastline. But not just a simple structure... a complete artificial reef SYSTEM, engineered specifically for each location along the shoreline. To work, it has to be SITE SPECIFIC... as Pilky says.

 

Yup, greed in all forms, not just monetary

 

Greed man, was thinking about this on my walk last night...

Good thread Mr yankee.

 

You must be really smart. or just eager to get stoned.

 

Don't give me options like these... tough choices

 

Too chummy for the HOTY homestretch. Save it for post-trophy New Year's cordials or there will be nothing to cheers.

 

Lol there you go bro. You needed some fuel.

You mad I spoke of you and your dame ripping waves in CR? That's commendable and should be celebrated. Didn't know it was vault material. I keep decorum for most all things on here though. A Sweller's word is bond.

Clemsworth resurrected your campaign tread from last season. You need to light that up like it was a chezburger-wearing wahine in the cab of a pickup at WH.

 

Indeed. In general, people are selfishly in pursuit of there own agenda of power, pleasure or prestige, rather than a selfless concern of what is best for all parties concerned (if this is knowable).

With such a colossal problem, one can only apply their gifts and talents in their sphere of influence, and hopefully make a positive difference in the lives of others.

IMHO, to much "looking out for numerous uno" surely has haunting returns.
