Located just southwest of St. Louis, and 2 miles east of Eureka in an old flood plain used for farming, lies a ghost town called Times Beach, Missouri. Originally being marketed as a summer hideaway, one could purchase a 20 x 100 ft. lot for $67.50 in 1925 and even receive a six-month newspaper subscription.

In 1983, due to a dioxin contamination that was widely covered by the national media, the town’s citizens were completely evacuated, becoming the largest civilian exposure to dioxin in the history of the United States of America (Leistner, 1995). Two short years after the evacuation…

In Spanish Hermosa means beautiful and Hermosa Beach is just that.…

Beach nourishment should be halted because the net benefit does not outweigh the loss of time, money, and delicate ecosystems. Replenishment projects only delay the inevitable erosion and are a waste of resources. Only the local economy benefits while the federal government pays an enormous price. When an area is being washed out to sea, the government should provide assistance to the people affected so they can move somewhere else, not to stay or rebuild in the same place to await the same outcome. There are only so many resources to go around and with sea levels continuing to rise, cities with millions of people are where the cash flow is going to go. This leaves communities vulnerable to erosion, so people should just pack up and leave sooner…
