Beach Erosion
Beach erosion longstanding challenge for southeastern NC
There is a major environmental concern in the southeastern region North Carolina; it is beach erosion. However do not worry, the article states “The good news is that we do have alternatives to help control erosion, but the bad news is that these alternatives can also have negative consequences.”. A method that is able to help control erosion is beach nourishment, although it is not a cure for beach erosion, but rather a treatment to help the illness. Beach nourishment doesn't stop beach erosion but instead “it puts enough sand in place that it takes time to wash that new sand away.”. Meanwhile, the southeastern area has a beach as well as to provide hurricane protection. A source named Roger says “The bottom line is that erosion is a part of life here in southeastern North Carolina and the sooner we realize how to live with it well, the better off we'll be.” And “This is only a temporary solution and as we see more development, we need to focus on the long term solution,”.
I believe that this is a huge problem, although it may not seem so at this specific time and this specific moment. I believe that more attention should be drawn toward this situation. This is because the beach erosion could lead to something bigger, something unknown. Just because they currently have a temporary treatment to this problem does not mean it is okay to settle. A source named Roger states that “The bottom line is that erosion is a part of life here in southeastern North Carolina and the sooner we realize how to live with it well, the better off we'll be.”. I highly disagree with this statement, this statement is saying that we have no choice and we just have to deal with it; that is not okay. We need to find a long-term solution as soon as we can because like the article said Mother Nature will react. In my opinion, more attention should be drawn to this situation because it could lead to even more dangerous problems and
