[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3232333, member: 7900"] With regards to that in bold letters above, Oregon learned that lesson the hard way. They decided to plant grasses along the beaches in some area many years ago to combat beach erosion. What the grass did was catch the sand as it blew in, then grow above that sand to catch more. (See where that process is going?) Yeppers, Oregon now has what it calls the Oregon Dunes that are now covering up full grown trees. Waldport, OR has an area just north of the inlet to Alsea Bay that blows sand badly almost every winter. Enough so that the sand builds up to the height of the eaves of the homes in that area. When the homeowners dig their houses back out, guess where that HAVE to put that sand... ...yeppers... ...right back onto the beach. Just below is an image taken from Google Maps' Satellite View.
