It's a tough thing. The beaches in NJ are the single largest economic driver, but as Capt. Bob pointed out there's an environmental downside.

A lot of money was made available after Sandy for these projects, one concluded two years ago in Ocean City where I have a summer home. There was literally no beach after Sandy. With a project that large, a lot of sand had to be pumped. Most of which came from lumps 2 to 3 miles out.

I agree there has to be more thought into the environmental impacts of these projects.
