Sandbag wall threatens surfing in Montauk
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) started to build a sandbag wall in New York's most famous surfing region. The surf breaks will inevitably change.
Montauk, Long Island, might be lost forever. The spot is one of the best peaks on the entire East Coast, but local authorities still believe that artificial coastal protection is the best solution against flooding.
After multiple public discussion, protests and court recommendations, the Army Corps of Engineers got the green light and began stacking more that 14,000 geotextile bags along 3,100 feet of dune.
