Anyone else feel that rebuilding this island is a waste of resources?
Not entirely. The Engineer Corp needs a place to deposit the materials that they dredge out of the shipping channel. Why not put it on a barrier island that helps keep even more material from going into the channel in the first place?
“It’s sand!!!”

Any coastal shor rebuilding is guaranteed…to be a waste of money in terms of what remains the next year.

Mother Nature won’t win the battle. Nor will rational sanity.
