Other Areas of Discussion / Concern:
Consider Seawall or other Structure to Keep Beach Sand
out of Parking Lot During King Tides / Hurricane Impacts
Dune Plant Restoration Needed To Preserve Dunes /
Beautify Beach / Natives are Necessary
Continued Beach Renourishments Leads to Covering
Coral Reef in Sand with each Hurricane
(Low Coral Reef Profile = Less Storm Wave Reduction = Beach Erosion)
