Fort Lauderdale “Replenishes” its beaches every few years by pumping in sand from offshore.
Probably not the best example to use.

Its the perfect example. Nature is CONSTANTLY changing. (I’m guessing they do the same on the beaches in CA).

And the sand that was pumped in from offshore came from where? I suspect the exact same amount pumped in from offshore came from onshore previously.

My backyard ends where salt water begins... water’s been in the same place for 30 years - higher with hurricanes and high tides but other than that... just the same.

Pumping the sand back is due to erosion, NOT rising sea level. If it was due to rising sea level, the sand would be piled over A1A.
