Time to leave the coastlines

We can recreate the sand dunes that existed in many places before they were filled in to build housing, plant foliage complementing the beach environment to help nature take over.

Beyond that, we need to address protecting cities such as New York, which are at sea level. Perhaps we need to look towards Holland for answers to these more daunting problems.

One thing is for sure, the bravado intoned in statements such as “we will rebuild,” whether by politicians or residents, and take back the land (shore), is in my opinion a mistake.
