Move, the same issue is happening all over the world. Sad thingbis tax payers have to payout for new homes. Waterfront is a risk and tax payers shouldnt have to pay for a lifestyle.
This is not the first city that the army corps has destroyed by installing a jetty! Look up Bayocean in Oregon. The whole city was destroyed and no longer exists because the army corps built a jetty and changed the erosion of the ocean. The people in this news story say that erosion is normal but when we change the coast line by adding a jetty we change that erosion. The army corps has made the same mistakes over and over again and then they claim that it wasn’t their fault!
Look at what the Army Corps did with the MRGO canal in the gulf.... devastated coastal ecosystems and exposed cities like New Orleans to enormous hurricane damage.
@Dan-Ratheryes Ocean Shore is dealing with the damage from the jetty that was put in 40 years ago! I understand erosion is natural but when man changes the shore line we speed it up
Who do you think the Army Corps of engineers is? That’s the government. They screwed it up. And then greedy capitalists sold a bunch of building lots where you shouldn’t build. I am pretty sure the only entity big enough to fix this mess is the government.

Washington state coastlines are giant basins that once maintained glaciers as tall as the Cascade Range, the coastline is meant to fall apart and erode into the ocean. Kind of the point of the edge of a continent, meet with the sea. Rising waters doesn't help either, but then again we are scientifically leaving the Holocene ice age respectively, it will be gradually warming regardless.
@@RobWastman generally it is widely accepted that the polar ice caps, which mostly reside ontop of land, are melting into the ocean, as the planet intended to cycle through. You can't refute that evidence. You can refute the claims about human impact.
I grew up on Guam in the Pacific Ocean and Whidbey Island in Puget Sound. Both Islands have erosion. Yes its sad, but the earth ages like the human body. Its going to happen.
Exactly. Same with everyone back east, they want money after every hurricane and tornado and flood. Zero public funds should be used to help these people.
There's a section in California, Palos Verdes, that's collapsing by the day and the houses are expensive so they've insanely thrown millions trying to what's inevitable. Obscene.

And when people can't afford home insurance because they built on quicksand, they expect the taxpayer through FEMA to subsidize them and complain about an "affordability crisis".
This is the same issue that destroyed a community on the SW side of Tillamook Bay in Oregon in the 1950's. A jetty was constructed to make entry into the bay easier and it changed the ocean currents. The entire peninsula was made of sand and washed away over time. Further jetty work was done and now the ocean currents are rebuilding the spit, but no building is allowed and the area is a nature preserve. I think there are still some foundations visible.
Our family owns a house in Ocean Shores very close to this. The beach used to be very close to the street. Now it’s a half a mile away. It’s Sandy coastline, it’s always changing. And in the last 10 years, they’ve been building lots more houses and developments. There’s only so much room there, and mother nature is in control of it.
I retired from the US Navy about 16.4 miles north of Ocean Shores in Pacific Beach in 1976. I then bolted inland to Hoquium, Aberdeen,Bellevue, and North Seattle. Now in Albuquerque.
Any concerns with those super sacks breaking down and causing even more plastic to get in the ocean? 2:44. I’m pretty sure they are not made for long term storage outside.
In many places dams are the reason for coastal erosion…. stopping the replenishment of sand and material to the beaches is obviously going to cause problems….. and has been well documented in other areas.
You don't stop erosion, you just move it. North Cove (Connie Allen) just won a national award for their GRASS ROOTS erosion control efforts using rock and driftwood logs to take the impact.
60 million not much? Its selfish. No federal money should be approved for this. Let the state spend if they want to. People within state should be allowed to express their opinion.
Building right along the beach is a fool's pursuit. The coastline used to be dozens and dozens of miles farther west millions of years ago. Erosion is inevitable and unstoppable. There's no way in hell taxpayers should subsidize people who foolishly built homes on the beach. And the folks who live there should consider themselves lucky if they are gradually forced out by erosion. Because if they aren't, they're all going to be sitting dead ducks when the Great Cascadia Earthquake happens and the tsunami washes over all the low-lying areas on the Washington coast like Ocean Shores, Westport and Long Beach.
@@hailutahistan3680 First of all, this particular section of beach is the only section in all of OS that’s facing erosion issues. The vast vast majority of the beach in Ocean Shores (the stretch of beach that faces the open ocean) has been stable as long as people have lived out here. Secondly, the houses that are currently at risk had like 100 yards or more of beach/dunes frontage between them and the ocean when they were originally built decades ago, they were not haphazardly built right next to the water. Finally, the erosion in that section is largely the result of man made actions taken by a bunch of engineers who built the north jetty over 100 years ago.
@Dan-Rather Except when it’s a consequence. There are many many examples all over the world of coast line changes both in terms of erosion and accretion that are the direct result of human activity (and I’m not talking climate change)
Shorelines change when hurricanes and severe storms pass through. Beaches are changed. To move to the shore and then whine and cry about it doesn't change a thing storms will still come.
I ❤️ LOVE ❤ Ocean Shores! This is where I grew up. My parents took me to Ocean Shores as a toddler. My grandparents would take me and my 2 cousins on a vacation to Ocean Shores, and we always had the BEST of time. My grandpa taught me how to dig Razor Clams with a clam digging shovel, and it was so exciting and completely fun! Ocean Shores is my HAPPY PLACE!! ❤❤

@@frankmacleod2565 No, the erosion just continues on the newly exposed shoreline - and pretty much everywhere else. The Appalachians were once the height of the Rockies, but have been eroded away. The Rockies themselves are on V2.0, having been pushed up once, then eroded back to a flat plain, then pushed up again.
I was out there during the king tides on 12/26/2022 with some stormy weather incoming. There were some massive breakers rolling in between the two jetties. One of the waves even knocked a several ton boulder that was on top of the (north) jetty into a slightly different position. While I wasn't anywhere near that boulder, it was at that point I decided that I wasn't going to try to get any closer to the "splash zone" than I already was. It was a very awe-inspiring day, in the truest sense of the phrase. Anyway, that king tide+storm combination caused a huge amount of erosion, all by itself.
Wave energy can be so destructive. It can also be harvested. A reef habitat combined with wave generation along the coast might even pay for itself over time.
The jetty was built to facilitate commercial commerce and safety of the ships sailing into Hoquiam and Aberdeen. To say the Corps of Engineers made a mistake is a major simplification or an a piece of mis-information by way of omission.
I remember camping at wash away beach, what was the campground is now underwater. This is just natural, the first nation tribes have been losing ground to the ocean for many many years.
I feel sorry for the people but this is what happens to sand spits. Ocean city Oregon (?). Was wiped out in the 50- 60's it's all turned back to wilderness. Tuff break.
If nothing changes, I suppose one will be able to purchase a "throw away" vacation home for little money, and just abandon it when the waves come knocking or Rainer decides to blow.
Yeah, but if you look at the tip of land on the right, you can see a buildup of sand there. These are just changing ocean currents. It takes from one place and deposits it nearby. I don’t think this is a result of climate change. The shorelines around the globe have waxed and waned since the beginning of time. There are songs about it from over a hundred years ago. The earth is not static. It is always in motion and landforms change.
blinded to the obvious dangers by the beauty and opportunity to have something someone else doesn't have. same problems on Lake Michigan...Government had to buy out those folks because the lake was advancing on their homes.
Add mangroves they reduce erosion and some provide edible fruits and yes mangroves normally live in 50/50 mix of ocean and fresh water but they can also live in 100% fresh or ocean water. Coral reefs will reduce the speed of the water. Melt rock have them turned into art have rock art compitishons and drop it in the ocean we’re things don’t live or needs more stuff for more life to grow and the artwork and the sponges and corals growing on them will reduce the erosion and provide more life.
@@mmedved5567 it was worded bad but what I said is completely tree just not the art that was for fun and to potentially add funding as well as places for things to grow on to fix damage or completely gone of life spots to help with everything. Mangrove roots hold soil and provides homes for fish they reduce storm water speeds as well. Corals reefs reduce storm water speed and the more and longer of the reef the better but land height plays a roll too in the ocean if high for long to long way out it will reduce it much more add a reef on top and wow it’s good at reducing damage on land.
Look at a map of Avalon, NJ. The north end of town begins at 6th Street. Before March 1962, the town began at 1st Street. One storm made that change. Fifty or so years from now, I anticipate much more of Avalon will be ocean.
Wow this must be the first time in the history of the planet that water wore away a shoreline holy mackerel I'm surprised scientists from all over the world are not there studying this strange occurrence
Bayocean: The lost resort town in Oregon that has been forgotten. Bayocean was built in 1906 as a planned resort community on Tillamook Spit, a small stretch of land between the Pacific Ocean and Tillamook Bay. After the Army Corp of Engineers built the north jetty at the entrance to Tillamook Bay it created a vortex current that eroded the beach and bluffs on which Bayocean was built. Sure looks like the same thing is going on here.
Nature doing what nature does. If anyone expected a different outcome, they were foolish. It cannot be stopped without billions of dollars that will affect the natural ecosystem.
Building dams on the Columbia River intercepts silt and sand that would otherwise flow to the shoreline. This also happened at Keta in Ghana where a huge dam on the Volta River caused the beaches at Keta to erode. I suspect you would see the same thing around the Nile Delta.
The real problem or escalation started when they dredge the channel to 36 feet at mean low water 5 ish years ago . I’m a crabber out of Westport for the last 22 years and there has been huge changes to all of the area.

Will earth one day be entirely underwater?
Yeah, but if you look at the tip of land on the right, you can see a buildup of sand there. These are just changing ocean currents. It takes from one place and deposits it nearby. I don’t think this is a result of climate change. The shorelines around the globe have waxed and waned since the beginning of time. There are songs about it from over a hundred years ago. The earth is not static. It is always in motion and landforms change.
"Ocean" + "Shores." Didn't these people have a clue when they came across those words?
blinded to the obvious dangers by the beauty and opportunity to have something someone else doesn't have. same problems on Lake Michigan...Government had to buy out those folks because the lake was advancing on their homes.
Insurance companies should never insure idiots who want to live on coastlines. It just burdens people with common sense.
Why is everyone acting like this isn’t extremely normal, we did this
What if us pumping so much oil will eventually put all land masses under the water?
I’m so glad to read so many comments with common senses .
clearly this guy knows what hes talking about, i'd agree to his plan.
Add mangroves they reduce erosion and some provide edible fruits and yes mangroves normally live in 50/50 mix of ocean and fresh water but they can also live in 100% fresh or ocean water.
Coral reefs will reduce the speed of the water.
Melt rock have them turned into art have rock art compitishons and drop it in the ocean we’re things don’t live or needs more stuff for more life to grow and the artwork and the sponges and corals growing on them will reduce the erosion and provide more life.
And what drugs are you on?
@@mmedved5567 it was worded bad but what I said is completely tree just not the art that was for fun and to potentially add funding as well as places for things to grow on to fix damage or completely gone of life spots to help with everything.
Mangrove roots hold soil and provides homes for fish they reduce storm water speeds as well.
Corals reefs reduce storm water speed and the more and longer of the reef the better but land height plays a roll too in the ocean if high for long to long way out it will reduce it much more add a reef on top and wow it’s good at reducing damage on land.
I've been meaning to check out Ocean Shores. I guess I better get on it...

Look at a map of Avalon, NJ. The north end of town begins at 6th Street. Before March 1962, the town began at 1st Street. One storm made that change.
Fifty or so years from now, I anticipate much more of Avalon will be ocean.
Wow this must be the first time in the history of the planet that water wore away a shoreline holy mackerel I'm surprised scientists from all over the world are not there studying this strange occurrence
Bayocean: The lost resort town in Oregon that has been forgotten. Bayocean was built in 1906 as a planned resort community on Tillamook Spit, a small stretch of land between the Pacific Ocean and Tillamook Bay. After the Army Corp of Engineers built the north jetty at the entrance to Tillamook Bay it created a vortex current that eroded the beach and bluffs on which Bayocean was built. Sure looks like the same thing is going on here.
Everyone wants to fight against nature. Acceptance is the key.
Completely normal! It happens, where I am our shore line is growing! All along a shoreline it comes and goes..
Can't push the river.
Not even gonna mention that Damon point has been cut in half from the king tide last winter?
What about learning about what Venice does to stabilize parts of land? But I guess the water isn’t as rough though.
If only WA State had some representatives in WA DC to help out the state. Unfortunately, the residents of WA keep voting not to have representatives.
Uh, ever heard of offshore wave breakers, if it's not a surf spot, obviously, they should invest in using that for this area
North Carolina outer banks, people are crying the beach has moved,..
We truly are so disconnected from Mother Earth. How do humans act like this?
Nature doing what nature does. If anyone expected a different outcome, they were foolish. It cannot be stopped without billions of dollars that will affect the natural ecosystem.
You can’t stop this kind of erosion folks. That’s the shoreline, there’s no fixing that.
Building dams on the Columbia River intercepts silt and sand that would otherwise flow to the shoreline. This also happened at Keta in Ghana where a huge dam on the Volta River caused the beaches at Keta to erode. I suspect you would see the same thing around the Nile Delta.
Y'all built on sand dunes at sea level. The coast constantly changes!
The real problem or escalation started when they dredge the channel to 36 feet at mean low water 5 ish years ago . I’m a crabber out of Westport for the last 22 years and there has been huge changes to all of the area.
