At the risk of being jumped on tooth and nail about renourishment, etc., I
would like to throw this out.
 
The beaches are being renourished in our state and many others because our
economy depends so heavily on the tourist trade........mostly along our
coast.  Without beaches, there are no tourists and no tourist dollars .  We
were at Fripp Island for Thanksgiving and at high tide, there is no
beach--and this is also true of Hunting Island.  They have thrown in the
towel at Hunting Island, and the ocean is regaining its territory.
 
So, where does that leave our fight on banning renourishment?  When
people's livelihood is dependant on the beaches, what is the right thing to
do?
 
Please don't holler at me!
