No, it's not a good idea. It's a huge waste of money. Beaches are NOT as some would like to think infrastructure, to be repaired. Beaches are part of the natural super structure, like glaciers or mountains or the sky. Thinking we can stabilize them is foolish and counter productive. It is we who must move back as the Oceans rise during the warming . The whole beach replenishment idea is an arrogant and expensive, but ultimately futile project that enriches a few and does nothing more then give the illusion of doing something for a few hundred very self interested politicians. It also has virtually no scientific basis or backing among coastal geologists.

In summary, beach replenishment projects are essentially pork barrel politics @ their worst.
