Re: 1961-62 Report: deja vu all over again
thanks for posting this historical article!
wow .... the "Seagrove Beach looking west" picture is gorgeous ... i wonder just where it was taken, and i wonder how long it's been since that gentle a dune face has been the norm in Seagrove.
there are some gentle slopes like that along the Grayton Beach Preserve, but i think only where the dune's been eroded down to only several feet of remaining elevation.
the paper (fascinating) talks about the merits of shallow-water dredging. wouldn't it make sense for, say, walton and okaloosa counties (maybe bay & santa rosa, too) to pitch in and buy a dredging rig for ourselves, and just keep it cycling along our beaches, so that they get renourished every 3-5 years?
