Food for discussion at next Sunday's Mass.
Phantom, I agree that the areas you mentioned are subject to large waves from natural causes. However, the area where I live is protected and I have rarely seen a natural wave cause any type of erosion, due to the relatively short fetch in front of my house. However the man-made waves are huge. After a cruiser goes by, it's really amazing to see all the clumps of grass and soil in the water. Again, if this is not "erosion" than I don't know what is.
