To the Editor:

There is good and sad to beach replenishment. Good is the protection and sad is the loss of the ocean view for many. However, the process of beach replenishment is like a well-choreographed ballet.

The boats in the ocean move the pipes to the replenishment area. They dance around each other and, with a graceful, gentle touch, put the pipes opposite each other and gently join them.
