Army Corps Plans Beach Restoration

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is partnering with Slaughter Beach for a virtual meeting on June 29 to discuss a federal-funded plan to combat severe coastal erosion north of the Mispillion Inlet. Since the jetties were built in 1893, the state-owned beach has lost land at an alarming rate—far beyond natural erosion. Their proposed solution? A one-time beach nourishment project featuring a 1,700-foot-long, 150-foot-wide berm, 5 feet high, requiring 80,500 cubic yards of sand. But don’t get too excited—funding is still pending, and the plan isn’t final. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
