This is needed to sustain the ecosystem upstream. Large pools and lakes near the ocean cause flooding up the rivers and streams, so this process is almost like a pressure release for a dam. It keeps everything in check. The beach will be back to normal in a few days or a week. Once the water drains, the sand will reform into a beach line and the process will repeat every year.

[@robluxipiech4033]

The dunes in most places are typically heavily monitored and engineered to the best of our ability to tame nature, to prevent water erosion from destroying an entire beach. This sublet is literally in place to gather and be released instead of constantly adding driftto the dune. Forgive me I forget the name for the math involved something to do with plants being strategically placed to grow these alcoves and prevent the over angling of a beach or it's erosion.

Why would you do this. Is it, just for fun or is there a responsible reason for diverting an entire river system in to the ocean.

[@jamesg9617]

It’s done to prevent flooding. When the rivers are overflowing they usually drain them into the ocean and the surfers use it for enjoyment as well.

[@elitehacker1416]

There an actual reason behind it. And doesn't destroy beaches it actually does the opposite. It prevents destruction. Places where this is done is done on a regular basis. So tell me if the beach was destroyed how does the sand return? We use to do this in Maryland in calvary County where I used to live. There are houses that live one these lakes so when it floods either the houses are destroyed or the entire beach get washed away so to prevent either of these thing happening you drain the lake via a little trench in the sand. In doing so is lowers the water level and only washes a section of the beach away instead of the whole beach. The the next storm thatvrollsvthruborvwhenn the tide is strong the sand that was washed away get pushed back to the beach thus repeating the process over again. And who says u can have a Lil fun in the process. I've seen lots of communities try putting concrete sewer tunnels from the lake to the ocean but that never works because it get filled and clogged up with sand and it's alot more expensive and time consuming to clean out a tunnel every time it rains than it is to just make a trench with a 5 dollar shovel. Doing this stops land erosion, house flooding, washing out entire beaches and in some cases damaging reefs

[@aaronyu2660]

For those saying that this isn’t destroying the beach, just keep in mind that it depends. Generally speaking, water crashing into land breaks apart larger rocks into smaller and finer sand, never forming larger rocks again through this process. This process is called erosion, and it’s been happening across almost all coastlines. Doing this may help our properties, but speeds up erosion and receding coastlines. They may be doing this for years, but do people realize how much human activity have caused an unnatural change in our environment? If you guys look at the structure of a lot of beaches, you would actually realize that after a certain point of gradually deepening slopes, there’s generally a “cliff” where the ocean gets really deep all of a sudden. If go far enough from the shore, you might realize that in some beaches. That being said, a lot of people think the beaches heal naturally on their own, but in reality, most beaches don’t do that in the way they think it does and depends on many factors too many of which includes natural disasters, tectonic movement over time, water current direction, etc... There’s actually a lot of room for the sand in the sea floor, especially once it reaches that dip, so erosions generally move the sand outward and levels the sand off. There are moments and mechanics where sand gets pushed back onto the land, but it depends as mentioned earlier and generally sand gets further out. Even though we think the beach is healing most of the time, it’s generally an illusion in which it’s simply leveling off the loose sand. Even though we think the oceans look like it’s always pushing sand towards us, a lot of people seem to forget that the tides recede as well, pulling the sand along with it. As the sand from receding coastlines level off, it’s actually allowing more water into land since the displaces the volume of water further up as more sand sinks towards the sea floor, allowing the flooding to occur more often, as you see here. Moreover, a lot of the people don’t realize that a lot of the sandy beaches we go to are man made and maintained by the government from offshore sand. Otherwise, a lot of natural beaches would look more rocky like California or European coastlines (however that depends on the natural geology of the location in the end). So people thinking that all beaches heals itself naturally, well, it might as well be unnatural for that beach to be there in the first place. Just look up receding coastlines and beach maintenance. It’s more than just climate change.
