The most recent data from NASA shows a decline in sea level.
Inconvenient: NASA shows global sea level…pausing, instead of rising
Boy I an see this going south real fast
My instant reaction was horror for the little creatures that live in the sand and their sudden extermination.
they never think things through.
Now they can say sea level is rising without having to explain coastal erosion of their private beaches.
I hope they’re using solar power for this.
The islands in the Indian Oceans that are ONE inch above sea level - and the first that will go under if oceans rise - ARE STILL JUST FINE and above water. Beach erosion has nothing to do with the fantasy of 'rising sea levels'... wish they would just leave that phrase out until something actually happens.
Dredging has worked for years and years...You want a beach?? or a parking lot??
So you pack sand in a block, zap it with electricity, and shazam! you have concrete? Maybe you could build a pyramid with that method? No need to move big blocks, just cart in some sand.
Here’s another idea... Don’t build your house on sand... Build it on rocks to begin with.
Build a wall?
Will they sound an air warning before zapping a kagillion watts into Lake Michigan?
marine sand comes and goes it’s natural
Great, now the beaches will be just like concrete in the cities that everyone is leaving to go to the beach.
Wow! This is brilliant.

People have tried to protect coastlines with rock-like immovable solids for thousands of years. Some, like bay protecting embankments made of stone, work well for protecting the bay, but they also shift sedimentation patterns. More sedimentation upcurrent, sediment erosion (and potentially increased) down current.
The erosion of coastal structures is like putting logs on the side of a tank. The logs are sacrificial, and because they're soft they absorb the impact of anti-tank weapons. Even though sediments are composed of small particles, the friction between particles caused by ocean waves absorbs some of the energy of the ocean wave. Additionally, the sedimentary barrier structures shift over time in response to the wave forces on them. All of this movement reduces wave energy when it finally impacts the shore.
Hardening the coast in front of land structures eliminates the reduction in energy caused by friction between particles and eliminates shifts in sediments over time. it is likely that this action would cause more damage over time than doing nothing, and definitely a lot more damage over time compared to withdrawing insurance subsidies for coastal construction.
To Serve Man...it’s a cook book!
FRIED CLAMS!!
Too bad.
I was going to suggest to tie liberals to the rocks.
