The joke's on us... they actually have taken over the beaches surrounding where the movie was set.

or thereabouts.
Yes - most beaches are either always gaining sand, or losing sand due to the currents. Although the jetties do help. In Naples, FL they dredge the sand from a few thousand feet offshore and put it back on the beach every so often.
They have a big barge/dredge offshore and run a huge hose up to the beach.
Miami Beach was basically created by dredging sand from the bottom of Biscayne Bay and pouring it onto Miami Beach. Before Carl Fisher did this, Miami Beach was basically a watery mangrove barrier island. Oh, and they used the dredging equipment from the Panama Canal to achieve this task.
Better yet, there are plenty of old coastal sites that are now well inland due to silting and river delta growth. Troy, at the time of its famous war, was on the coast, but is now 3 miles inland.
The amazing thing is the huge variety of music. Soul, rock psychedelic, country rock. Endless, amazing innovation.
Just imagine a song like “Ode to Billy Joe” or “Polk Salad Annie” or “Sunday Will Never Be the Same” or “California Dreaming” or “Monday, Monday” or “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” or “The Twist” or Hot Fun In The Summertime” or “Do You Believe in Magic” or “I Want to Hold Your Hand” getting written and performed today!
Do those efforts adjust the boulders back to 1959, as well?
I don’t know, but for some reason cities in Broward County in county are spending millions to replenish beaches washed away in recent storms.
It is a hoax because these morons don’t sell their oceanfront homes...when they start doing that, I’ll listen to them...maybe...
Heck - been on the MS Gulf Coast for 33 years and can look at any of the old piers/seawalls and tell it ain’t been going up....
A lot of erosion has occurred over the last 140+ years. In the blink animation above (click on the image to see animation) note that the rock under the three people standing on the right in the 1871 image is gone, and has formed a small island of boulders with three people sitting on it in the recent image. There is no evidence that sea level has risen.
A few Palm Trees have been planted, but the sea appears to be in exactly the same place it was 130 years ago. In fact the rocks on the upper right are higher above the water now than in the earlier picture (high tide.) There is no glacial rebound in San Diego, and the faults in the region are strike-slip (horizontal) faults. They dont cause vertical movement. Prior to the March quake this year, the last large quake to hit the region was in 1862.

Beach erosion has nothing to do with sea levels. Erosion is a function of current flow.

I never said that eriaion and sea levels are related. I simply noted that because erosion takes place, these beaches have been renourished multiple times since the movie was made. Thus, you can’t really make a true comparison. If you made a comparison several years after the renourishment, you would come to the exact opposite conclusion presented here.
