Nice story.
It won’t help. Virginia Beach & Hampton Roads are subsiding (sinking).

Somebody once before cited it to me as an example of inundation due to global warming and I had to get the facts.
One nice blow can cut a barrier island in half making a new inlet. A few christmas trees is not going to stop it.
Happy thoughts count I guess......
The outer banks are beautiful, but the earth is what it is. I lived on the Oregon coast for a while and people tried to save their beautiful beach houses by hauling giant boulders in...they try this idiocy in Malibu, also. The ocean is a force of nature and will do as it does and has always done. Man can be a silly creature.
Christmas trees to fight erosion in the Outer Banks
Is that really going to work!?
Or is this just another leftist boondoggle. You want to fight beach erosion? Just turn the place into a municipal dump. I wonder if those tin decorations will turn into Beach Hazards. Another leftist “seemed like a good idea at the time” solution.
This has been done for decades in Louisiana. Sometimes it helps; sometimes not. It keeps trees out of landfills, and “raises awareness”. The trees must be stripped of all ornaments and not flocked. They don’t do any harm out in the marsh, but are not a miracle solution either.
