New Sand Forms Storm Surge Defense

We’re still several months away from Hurricane Season, but the sand replenishment project now underway should help a lot of people sleep a little easier come June. The $15 million dollar project will, in some places, double the width of the beach. If a major storm comes ashore, the renewed beach will serve as a barrier to the storm surge.   To learn more about storm surges, please see this Wikipedia article. And for more on the Sandbridge project, please follow this link to the PilotOnline website.
