Did they just dump sand in a big pile? Sand dunes are pretty well-understood ecosystems that require something underneath to anchor to as well as plants on top to stabilize them.

But also, the ocean is going to continue to rise, so any effort is likely futile. Sorry about that dude’s tennis court getting ruined

So what your saying is they should have put the tennis courts on top of the sand dunes to stabilize them.

No, you misread. They said you need something underneath the sand dunes to stabilize them. So they need to dump a bunch of sand on top of the guy’s tennis court and that’ll do the trick.

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
