“Protect What You Love”
Destruction of barrier dunes by the impacts of development:
Causes accelerated sand and wind erosion of our coastline.
Inceases flooding in severe storms, putting neighboring homes at risks.
Intrudes upon turtle nesting habitat of endangered species.
Destruction of natural foliage of dunes and wildlife.
Over-strains the struggling, local infra-structure; consistent water shortages, power failures, inadequate sewage treatment, and poorly maintained roads.
Newly built houses built on the barrier dunes are not in compliance with environmental restrictions
Overbuilding on shifting sand dunes not only compromise their very purpose of protecting low lying areas, but it destroys the health of precious ecosystems.
This community opposes building on the barrier dunes.
