Beach eroison is basically when the sand gets eaten away. They are trying to put more sand down, but I would be willing to help because I want the beaches to look as pretty as they did before.

Beach erosion is when the ocean is carrying away all the sand. Califonia is getting rid of some things so that the ocean can flow naturally

Beach erosion is where the water brings the sand up on shore then it takes more away. They are trying to stop the beach erosion from happening so fast, so they are putting up barriers, but those aren't helping that much either. I would be willing to help in this effort because I know that it would be saving the beach and the peoples' homes that are located near the coastline. I mean I would want people to help save my community if I lived there.

Beach erosion is pretty much when sand gets carried in and out by the ocean and houses, side walks, and rock walls start to erode from water. People in California are trying to make the California coast more natural instead of managed,so that less erosion happens and the beaches are enjoyable.

Beach erosion is when the beach is losing its sand basically by the ocean taking it away. They are trying to put more sand down on the beaches right now. I would love to help them try to fix it.

LaGrangeBonnie said...

@Jenn I agree. I hope they get these problems under control because the beach is so beautiful it would be nice if everyone got to enjoy it without problems. I mean thats why there are on the beach for people to enjoy the beach right from home.

Beach erosion is sand being carried away from the ocean tides. I would help out and try to get the beaches more sandy! (: That wouldnt be good if we lost our beaches!

Beach eroison is when the ocean brings sand to the shore and then brings more with it. They are trying to stop the beach ersion by putting more sand down. I would be because what if they have house built there and shops things like that.

Beach erosion is when the sand gets eroded away(eaten away) they are trying to put more sand down so that it will be a beach again. I would love to help them do this because the are trying to make the beach look pretty as it once did before

Lamping Ally said...

Beach erosion is when the waves bring in sand but take more away so the sand will get less and less.
I would be very willing to help if i could because peoples houses and there cities are built by the ocean and that is just a lot more people that could be homeless so i would definatly help. and i think they are trying to put more sand or barriers in so it will slow it down.

Moehring,DeeAnna said...

@ jen peters

Yes i would be willing to help with this because 1. it would make the beaches look better 2. it would be better and safer for the homes around it.

Beach erosion is when the ocean bring some sand up onto shore and take more away. They are trying to stop beach erosion in califonia by setting up barriers but they are not working. I would help out with the cause because i think it is important to keep our beach good and useable and to keep the homes of the people that live on the coastline.

Beach erosion is where the sand starts to erode because of the wind and water. I really hope they fix this problem so the beaches can be really nice and pretty again. the people are really focusing on this problem so people still want to come back. they are clearing out things so the sand and water have there space and that people can work on fixing this problem.
