Yesterday we looked at the artificial reef (geotextile-based) being design for an off-shore, erosion control focus in New Zealand. Beach erosion is also a major concern in Australia. Today, the Central Coast Sun published a piece on Maroochydore Beach’s plight. There, councils have tabled erosion control projects for 30 years–until now. Geotextile sand bags are finally being brought in to buy much-needed time and halt erosion while a long-term plan is given attention.
