Have the students check with the local chamber to find out if such an activity exists in your community. If not, consider starting one. Beach cleanups are also successful ways to involve students in a beach community. There are many laws governing the use of groins and the protection of vegetation such as sea oats and mangroves. Have students research these laws.
Humans try many ways to prevent or slow down beach erosion.
After the intial fill, the process must periodically be repeated. This is known as renourishment. Seawalls are built at the land's edge to resist the waves. A seawall can actually speed up erosion as sediment is scoured away at its base.
