Learning about Beach Erosion

Alice, owner of Pelican Beach Resort, gives us talk about beach erosion. She explains the differenct techniques they've tried to keep the sand from washing away. Alice thinks that the increased erosion in the past 10 years is not due to the water table rising, but the mining of limestone up the river. She feels that the loose sediments washed down stream come at a much larger quantity and get pushed out to sea instead of stopping to rest at the beach. The girls enjoyed the hammock setting on the dock for a classroom and thanked Alice for her presentation.
