This really is a waste of fucking money. Just get a big dump truck of cash and dump in the ocean.

Can we just dump Gov. Haley and the Legislature on the beach? They’re not doing anything else of use.

No unfortunately, as I understand it they outlawed tidal barriers (?). Those walls with their heads stuffed deep in the water.

Dumping them onto the beach could probably be considered pollution.

The same thing happened on Hunting Island. The outcome: A decade later half the island had to be closed, state owned and private cabins washed into the ocean and all that sand moved down the coast and formed a big lake on the beachfront of Fripp Island.
And the channel route to the ocean became unnavigable at low tide. Great way to learn from past mistakes, try try again.

Naturally…..Wil…….you failed to put my house on your picture RADAR..?!! (you stinker)

Of course none of your “followers” here have not said anything about what you deceptively left out of the article..!?

Dare to guess what is was that you left out..?? This total re-nourishment is just a scheme to funnel money to what trucking company that funds which campaigns..?

Wil, you could have told your readers to imagine how much all those houses on this island USE in electricity each month that is foreign and not generated on the island itself..? How could those funds be used to re-nourish the beach instead of Greenville LAWYER paying his taxes to fund this “sand spreading”..??

Wil, you have the utter GALL to write an article about the 200K that Gilda is giving herself but FAIL to exposed how many MILLIONS in sand money and truck rental and FOREIGN OIL is going to be used to re-nourish an island that Mayor Tim Goodwin is silent on…??

Wil….you really know how to show support for our troops getting killed for FOREIGN OIL…..!!!!

Wil……..can you think at all…? Really, we want to know…?? Just in this picture alone….how many turbines should be up and generating LOCAL energy for this island and generating LOCAL funds to re-nourish the beach..? Now, double it for the other end of the island……..!

We really wonder just what Tom Hanks would whisper to “Wilson” while laying out at Folly…? If you care to hear what Tom would have to say….your more than welcome to come hang out at my house this weekend and have a listen…~!!

I’m a cordial Host……

The Crab Shack has “Shack-tacular Specials”……

The Surf Bar has great Music…….

The Sunset Cay Marine has………great sunsets…

Well……does Folly Beach produce any of its OWN electricity to sell..??

How much electricity does the island’s residents BUY…?? How much of that wealth leave the island every month that could be used to re-nourish the beach..??

Think of how our subdivisions are developed and planned….do ANY of them produce their OWN electricity from their Solar, Wind, or trash…??

Very few citizens THINK in those terms because they are not even TOLD because of WHO owns the local paper or radio or TV or school system…!!

Think….my friend…

Always wondered how God feels about mankind putting sand back on beaches

Every year he sends polite but firm message all along the coasts, “Hey dumbfucks, you are too close to the sea” and every year mankind ignores his warnings

Maybe this season God will send in a tidal wave to relocate Folly Beach up around Dorchester Road in Norht Charleston

Not true. Fripp Island is an excellent example of proper beach management. Hunting Island is an example of wasteful beach management. And the rapidly disappearing Harbor Island is an excellent example of no beach management. Three consecutive islands with very different futures based on the use of or lack of scientific anti erosion efforts.
The coast is our only resource. It’s biggest problem is that there isn’t some single entity of which to give a billion dollars. Our republicans love to pick winners and losers but golly geeze we can’t have everyone winning.
Evidently SC was chosen the one out of fifty to be the fucktard state.

The beaches of Horry were renouished in 1996 and what is the result. In 1995 there was no beach at hi tide and maybe a hundred feet at low tide. Today, there are sand dunes 200 feet wide and. Beach at hi tide that is just as wide. Bottom line is that it workers nf is thriving

Barrier islands on the south east coast erode from the north and build on the south. Two excellent examples are Ocean Isle and Edisto. So ole cornbread confucius recommends buying on the southern end is all ways a good thing.
