Beachfill Unsafe?

Folks, this was in the news a few weeks ago so it caught my eye, http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/185/story/235585.html In short there has been an increase in the number of back and spinal injuries in Cape May since beach replenishment projects started.

There was a follow up article here

And then US Senator Frank Lautenberg called for an investigation.

This is very satisfying to me becasue it is exactly what I warned officials on Long Beach Island of in 2006. It happened in Delaware and I believed it could happen elsewhere. (I never said it will happen, I said it could.) Apparently it has in Cape May, LBI was spared, but hey - they got the bombs.
