" have been working towards trying to develop and design a protection that would have minimal impact on the beach and protect the homes," he said. "If you look overseas in the United States, for more than 50 years they've been carrying out major nourishment on Miami Beach," he said. He said a recent amendment to the state's environment laws was intended to make offshore sand sourcing for nourishment works easier, but he believed more legislative changes were needed to the state's minerals and coastal acts to make it work more effectively on the ground.
