consistently maintained that alternative methods of restoring
and preserving Sandringham Foreshore and beaches are preferable
and more environmentally sound than the method currently employed,
that relies on stone groynes. Following are some examples of gentler and more effective alternatives to stone groynes. These methods are generally much more aesthetically pleasing, which should be a high priority despite other factors. They are also more flexible in the way they may be implemented and can be easily modified or "tuned" after installation if deemed desirable. Cost wise they represent a saving compared to stone groynes which should appeal to government budgets. In view of these facts it is imperative that the government, through DSE, consider removing both stone groynes and as a minimum, consider trialling some of these alternatives, before our foreshore and beaches are permanently and irreversibly destroyed. |
