...I really don't get the rationale!!!

Apparently the reason why an inshore lump stays a lump, stays higher than the surrounding bottom, and doesnt get flattened down by currents, is because the larger grain sand is built up there. thats exactly the sand the Corps wants because it (just like when it was on the lumps), won't get washed away as fast. that seems to be the problem, they dont want the finer grain sand from the random open bottom.. they want the large grains from the lumps which are sensitive habitat for fish and crucial for fishermen.. kind of sux !
