change has taken place; a
considerable beach area has
been built up by the use of
gabion baskets as groynes. It
proved so successful in its year
of study that adjoining property
owners have installed gabions.
All speakers agreed that
erosion is very serious. A
feasability study was urged
before anyone should carry out
an erosion program on their
own. This is to determine the
length, and depth of groynes
which could be the answer.
Breakwaters were suggested
for some areas; but one thing
was very clear, anything that
man does has an effect that
hedoes not anticipate;
isolated attempts at combating
erosion are no good. It was
stressed by all speakers that
cottagers or home builders
should built long distances
back from any cliff etc., where
erosion might possibly occur.
Since gabions are a very
expensive project; up to $3, 000
for a 100 foot gabion, it is
advisable to have an engineer
check you locality first before
spending good money in
anticipation of a beach, which
very well might not happen.
