Thank you Rebecca.
Here's an article in the Daytona Beach news journal that talks about the many hurdles we have to overcome in order to save our beach. I was at the presentation that Dr. Young gave last night. It was enlightening and ominous. It is up to us to stay aware of what's going on. No one is going to tell us so we will have to dig (No pun intended). The state legislature is working hard to centralize power in Tallahassee with their new bill that will take water and land management rights away from counties and municipalities. It's going to be difficult to overcome, but one thing that I learned from Dr. Young last night is that a larger rescue plan for the whole beach is much more important. It can't be done just in Daytona or just in Flagler. The beaches depend on each other and overdevelopment has changed the natural process. Volusia county is one of the least maintained stretches of beach when it comes to renourishment efforts. That must change. We need to have a comprehensive plan for our whole coast. I urge you to read the article, linked here,
and check out sonsofthebeach.org for a link to last nights presentation by Dr. Young.
That's all I got for now. Keep the faith.
Found it disappointing that he did not think stopping building east of A1A would be of benefit. One has to question why Volusia County has not made this a priority. I am also wondering about his statement regarding northern beaches... I don't remember his exact wording but something how the winters are so bad for the beaches but yet a beach I went to as a kid, in which you had to walk a distance to even get to the water, still remains similar now according to friends I have who still visit there. What is Wildwood New Jersey doing to maintain their beaches???
