“The project does not provide the storm damage mitigation and storm-surge protection that is promised, or at least the U.S. Geological Survey comments on the plan question the science behind those proposed benefits.” [...]
“A project like this, where the science is being questioned by government scientists and the environmental impacts are clearly negative, it’s a poster child for where we shouldn’t do this. This stretch of Fire Island is a park, for goodness sake.”

The Town of Southampton just spent $25 million to do this to 8 miles of ocean beach. I suspect it will ll be washed away in the first major storm, exacerbated by the additional depth offshore created by dredging.
But for now all the rich assholes with oceanfront houses have some illusion of security.
