Beach Erosion

I found this video very informative. Now I understand a bit better why beaches may be eroding away. Go to minute 24 to get one explanation that may relate to La Manzanilla.

Not sure what the solution would be but it does seem like greater setbacks from the ocean edge would be helpful.

Wow, Brandon, this document is so hard to watch but the information is so true, essential, and necessary to our knowledge of its environmental impact.

Now, why hadn't we heard about the use of sand in our lives and how we are using it up and losing it, sheesh! Not to mention the impact and destruction to the land, waterways, and fauna as we harvest it, etc., etc.

Oh my, I need to sit down,

Cruz

PS: But thank you so much, Brandon. I think you tried to soften the blow of the video's information.

Actually, Cruz, I found the production values quite high, although I
would have enjoyed more on-screen identification of those "talking heads", who truly were powerful in their delivery of frightening news.A veer interesting posting, Brandon. Thanks.

Yantara, I believe that Cruz was probably referring to the content rather than the production values of the video. It's difficult to think about this in regards to our beach.

Thanks for posting this, Brandon. Very informative, and frightening. Being a beach lover for most of my life, I shudder to see what will happen to the world when we no longer have them.

It is true that many of the beach houses have been delivered a lot of sand - it has come over high walls and filled pools, and broken down walls. It has no where else to go. Down by the cemetary there is more room and consequently few problems so far. A good documentary - sadly no stories of beaches returning, or being rebuilt. Is the meeting going to be on a zoom? Anne

Every resident of La Manzanilla should watch this . Those that have built on the beach should be very concerned.
Thank you for posting this Brandon. A real eye opener!!
