For the fourth essay, my group will be arguing against beach renourishment. We chose this topic because it is something that is relevant to our Wilmington community, and because it is something that is very expensive and only temporary.
My thesis statement for the paper is: Beach renourishment is not an effective way to deal with beach errosion because it is costly, non-permanent, and the process can disrupt the natural environment of the beach.
I can't wait to start writing more of this paper! There are so many blogs, articles, books, and research on the subject. Some of the sources I've already looked at include..
