“Dozers may be sighted on the beach at night.”
Why are they only visible at night? Is this a clandestine operation?
Straight out of Dr. No.
Superb as always in fullness of information (facts, graphs, maps) and clarity of composition. What a service to the public!
A bit more history here is interesting. This article helps to explain what has changed to cause an issue with natural beach nourishment. The harbor entries breakwater structures have prevented the natural flow of the sand. Interesting I thought.

Isn’t the bay rife with polluted muck?
“Rife” wouldn’t be the right word to use. The extent of degradation is well documented these days. The MPCA has a nice webpage here: https://mpca.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Shortlist/index.html?appid=dc1c197c5eba4afd9b44af9bd2bfedf6
We are told that dredge material is mostly clean sand these days. Regardless, it must be tested and permitted before being placed.
