| 摘要： | I am writing this in response to the story "Shored Up" in the August issue of WorkBoat by Bruce Buls. It seems like I cannot pick up a newspaper, boating or marine trade magazine today without hearing about rising seawater or "SLR." They all talk about the ice melting in the Polar regions. Now don't get me wrong, I do agree with that problem. But we have another one and no one has addressed. A few years ago, I attended an environment protection meeting on this matter. The meeting was organized by the state of New Jersey and the Army Corps of Engineers. Their answer to stop the flooding in my area, Barnegat Bay (Ocean County, N.J.), was to build a 10' seawall around the bay and put sea doors on the inlets. My question was if they were going to try this, how would they expect the people on waterfront properties to react? At that time people were fighting the raised dune regulations. I also pointed out that the sea doors would block the flow of storm water in the rivers and the water would back up into the towns. |
