@@wifibum3904 from what I've been reading, since the new mayor in city council have been elected they've stopped selling the sand. It was just the last corrupt mayor that was doing that.
This is not the first city that the army corps has destroyed by installing a jetty! Look up Bayocean in Oregon. The whole city was destroyed and no longer exists because the army corps built a jetty and changed the erosion of the ocean. The people in this news story say that erosion is normal but when we change the coast line by adding a jetty we change that erosion. The army corps has made the same mistakes over and over again and then they claim that it wasn’t their fault!
Look at what the Army Corps did with the MRGO canal in the gulf.... devastated coastal ecosystems and exposed cities like New Orleans to enormous hurricane damage.
@Dan-Ratheryes Ocean Shore is dealing with the damage from the jetty that was put in 40 years ago! I understand erosion is natural but when man changes the shore line we speed it up
I retired from the US Navy about 16.4 miles north of Ocean Shores in Pacific Beach in 1976. I then bolted inland to Hoquium, Aberdeen,Bellevue, and North Seattle. Now in Albuquerque.
Move, the same issue is happening all over the world. Sad thingbis tax payers have to payout for new homes. Waterfront is a risk and tax payers shouldnt have to pay for a lifestyle.

This is the same issue that destroyed a community on the SW side of Tillamook Bay in Oregon in the 1950's. A jetty was constructed to make entry into the bay easier and it changed the ocean currents. The entire peninsula was made of sand and washed away over time. Further jetty work was done and now the ocean currents are rebuilding the spit, but no building is allowed and the area is a nature preserve. I think there are still some foundations visible.
Washington state coastlines are giant basins that once maintained glaciers as tall as the Cascade Range, the coastline is meant to fall apart and erode into the ocean. Kind of the point of the edge of a continent, meet with the sea. Rising waters doesn't help either, but then again we are scientifically leaving the Holocene ice age respectively, it will be gradually warming regardless.
@@RobWastman generally it is widely accepted that the polar ice caps, which mostly reside ontop of land, are melting into the ocean, as the planet intended to cycle through. You can't refute that evidence. You can refute the claims about human impact.
I grew up on Guam in the Pacific Ocean and Whidbey Island in Puget Sound. Both Islands have erosion. Yes its sad, but the earth ages like the human body. Its going to happen.
The real problem or escalation started when they dredge the channel to 36 feet at mean low water 5 ish years ago . I’m a crabber out of Westport for the last 22 years and there has been huge changes to all of the area.

Exactly. Same with everyone back east, they want money after every hurricane and tornado and flood. Zero public funds should be used to help these people.
There's a section in California, Palos Verdes, that's collapsing by the day and the houses are expensive so they've insanely thrown millions trying to what's inevitable. Obscene.
Keep taking my Tax Money and Spending it on People who choose to not work and People who choose to Live in Horrible Areas that get Demolished by Nature Annually
And when people can't afford home insurance because they built on quicksand, they expect the taxpayer through FEMA to subsidize them and complain about an "affordability crisis".
You don't stop erosion, you just move it. North Cove (Connie Allen) just won a national award for their GRASS ROOTS erosion control efforts using rock and driftwood logs to take the impact.
Building right along the beach is a fool's pursuit. The coastline used to be dozens and dozens of miles farther west millions of years ago. Erosion is inevitable and unstoppable. There's no way in hell taxpayers should subsidize people who foolishly built homes on the beach. And the folks who live there should consider themselves lucky if they are gradually forced out by erosion. Because if they aren't, they're all going to be sitting dead ducks when the Great Cascadia Earthquake happens and the tsunami washes over all the low-lying areas on the Washington coast like Ocean Shores, Westport and Long Beach.
@@hailutahistan3680 First of all, this particular section of beach is the only section in all of OS that’s facing erosion issues. The vast vast majority of the beach in Ocean Shores (the stretch of beach that faces the open ocean) has been stable as long as people have lived out here. Secondly, the houses that are currently at risk had like 100 yards or more of beach/dunes frontage between them and the ocean when they were originally built decades ago, they were not haphazardly built right next to the water. Finally, the erosion in that section is largely the result of man made actions taken by a bunch of engineers who built the north jetty over 100 years ago.
@Dan-Rather Except when it’s a consequence. There are many many examples all over the world of coast line changes both in terms of erosion and accretion that are the direct result of human activity (and I’m not talking climate change)
Our family owns a house in Ocean Shores very close to this. The beach used to be very close to the street. Now it’s a half a mile away. It’s Sandy coastline, it’s always changing. And in the last 10 years, they’ve been building lots more houses and developments. There’s only so much room there, and mother nature is in control of it.
@ yes wash away beach. It used to be a half mile walk to get to the water from the house. In about 1993 the water was a couple blocks from the house. In 1995 it was under water.
I ❤️ LOVE ❤ Ocean Shores! This is where I grew up. My parents took me to Ocean Shores as a toddler. My grandparents would take me and my 2 cousins on a vacation to Ocean Shores, and we always had the BEST of time. My grandpa taught me how to dig Razor Clams with a clam digging shovel, and it was so exciting and completely fun! Ocean Shores is my HAPPY PLACE!! ❤❤
In many places dams are the reason for coastal erosion…. stopping the replenishment of sand and material to the beaches is obviously going to cause problems….. and has been well documented in other areas.
I feel sorry for the people but this is what happens to sand spits. Ocean city Oregon (?). Was wiped out in the 50- 60's it's all turned back to wilderness. Tuff break.
Here in South Mississippi the county workers push the sand that blows up to the highway back out towards the ocean to stop the beach from eventually disappearing.
The city and the crony developers would still apporve and build structures on the coast everywhere. They will justify with statements like housing for everyone.
Look at a map of Avalon, NJ. The north end of town begins at 6th Street. Before March 1962, the town began at 1st Street. One storm made that change. Fifty or so years from now, I anticipate much more of Avalon will be ocean.
@@frankmacleod2565 No, the erosion just continues on the newly exposed shoreline - and pretty much everywhere else. The Appalachians were once the height of the Rockies, but have been eroded away. The Rockies themselves are on V2.0, having been pushed up once, then eroded back to a flat plain, then pushed up again.
Wave energy can be so destructive. It can also be harvested. A reef habitat combined with wave generation along the coast might even pay for itself over time.
I remember camping at wash away beach, what was the campground is now underwater. This is just natural, the first nation tribes have been losing ground to the ocean for many many years.
The jetty was built to facilitate commercial commerce and safety of the ships sailing into Hoquiam and Aberdeen. To say the Corps of Engineers made a mistake is a major simplification or an a piece of mis-information by way of omission.
Shorelines change when hurricanes and severe storms pass through. Beaches are changed. To move to the shore and then whine and cry about it doesn't change a thing storms will still come.

Wow this must be the first time in the history of the planet that water wore away a shoreline holy mackerel I'm surprised scientists from all over the world are not there studying this strange occurrence
Add mangroves they reduce erosion and some provide edible fruits and yes mangroves normally live in 50/50 mix of ocean and fresh water but they can also live in 100% fresh or ocean water. Coral reefs will reduce the speed of the water. Melt rock have them turned into art have rock art compitishons and drop it in the ocean we’re things don’t live or needs more stuff for more life to grow and the artwork and the sponges and corals growing on them will reduce the erosion and provide more life.
@@mmedved5567 it was worded bad but what I said is completely tree just not the art that was for fun and to potentially add funding as well as places for things to grow on to fix damage or completely gone of life spots to help with everything. Mangrove roots hold soil and provides homes for fish they reduce storm water speeds as well. Corals reefs reduce storm water speed and the more and longer of the reef the better but land height plays a roll too in the ocean if high for long to long way out it will reduce it much more add a reef on top and wow it’s good at reducing damage on land.
Bayocean: The lost resort town in Oregon that has been forgotten. Bayocean was built in 1906 as a planned resort community on Tillamook Spit, a small stretch of land between the Pacific Ocean and Tillamook Bay. After the Army Corp of Engineers built the north jetty at the entrance to Tillamook Bay it created a vortex current that eroded the beach and bluffs on which Bayocean was built. Sure looks like the same thing is going on here.
The sand and silt is no longer coming out of the mouth of the Columbia river at the rate it used to. That sand and silt traveled up the Washington coast and built and maintained the coast line.
I was out there during the king tides on 12/26/2022 with some stormy weather incoming. There were some massive breakers rolling in between the two jetties. One of the waves even knocked a several ton boulder that was on top of the (north) jetty into a slightly different position. While I wasn't anywhere near that boulder, it was at that point I decided that I wasn't going to try to get any closer to the "splash zone" than I already was. It was a very awe-inspiring day, in the truest sense of the phrase. Anyway, that king tide+storm combination caused a huge amount of erosion, all by itself.

Wow this must be the first time in the history of the planet that water wore away a shoreline holy mackerel I'm surprised scientists from all over the world are not there studying this strange occurrence
I've been meaning to check out Ocean Shores. I guess I better get on it...
They’ve been warning people about this for decades now people like we’re concerned get the hell out of here
Completely normal! It happens, where I am our shore line is growing! All along a shoreline it comes and goes..
Add mangroves they reduce erosion and some provide edible fruits and yes mangroves normally live in 50/50 mix of ocean and fresh water but they can also live in 100% fresh or ocean water.
Coral reefs will reduce the speed of the water.
Melt rock have them turned into art have rock art compitishons and drop it in the ocean we’re things don’t live or needs more stuff for more life to grow and the artwork and the sponges and corals growing on them will reduce the erosion and provide more life.
And what drugs are you on?
@@mmedved5567 it was worded bad but what I said is completely tree just not the art that was for fun and to potentially add funding as well as places for things to grow on to fix damage or completely gone of life spots to help with everything.
Mangrove roots hold soil and provides homes for fish they reduce storm water speeds as well.
Corals reefs reduce storm water speed and the more and longer of the reef the better but land height plays a roll too in the ocean if high for long to long way out it will reduce it much more add a reef on top and wow it’s good at reducing damage on land.
Bayocean: The lost resort town in Oregon that has been forgotten. Bayocean was built in 1906 as a planned resort community on Tillamook Spit, a small stretch of land between the Pacific Ocean and Tillamook Bay. After the Army Corp of Engineers built the north jetty at the entrance to Tillamook Bay it created a vortex current that eroded the beach and bluffs on which Bayocean was built. Sure looks like the same thing is going on here.
The sand and silt is no longer coming out of the mouth of the Columbia river at the rate it used to. That sand and silt traveled up the Washington coast and built and maintained the coast line.

Good story, guys, thank you
I was out there during the king tides on 12/26/2022 with some stormy weather incoming. There were some massive breakers rolling in between the two jetties. One of the waves even knocked a several ton boulder that was on top of the (north) jetty into a slightly different position. While I wasn't anywhere near that boulder, it was at that point I decided that I wasn't going to try to get any closer to the "splash zone" than I already was. It was a very awe-inspiring day, in the truest sense of the phrase. Anyway, that king tide+storm combination caused a huge amount of erosion, all by itself.
Oh, that sounds so exciting, I love storms. I have never seen a King Tide, it sure sounds impressive!
Hello to anyone! You need to move out of that area! You all do not have the power to Stop any of this! On any coastline!
"Ocean" + "Shores." Didn't these people have a clue when they came across those words?
blinded to the obvious dangers by the beauty and opportunity to have something someone else doesn't have. same problems on Lake Michigan...Government had to buy out those folks because the lake was advancing on their homes.
North Carolina outer banks, people are crying the beach has moved,..
Same thing happened to Bayocean city in Oregon...
Rebuild the jetty? Didn’t the jetty cause the problem?
Damn! That reporter is fire🔥🔥
Why is everyone acting like this isn’t extremely normal, we did this
Nature wants that land back.
Can’t win against Mother Nature.
What a quandary. We can spend billions trying to save it for a few more years, or we can just say goodbye. What to do, what to do.
you cant stop mother nature from changing the landscape.
