Farmer and activist David Cottrell’s innovative answer to coastal erosion has slowed the decline of “Washaway Beach” and sparked a movement across the US and Europe.
For as long as David Cottrell could remember, his hometown had been falling into the sea. In the early 1960s, when Cottrell was 3 years old, an abandoned US Coast Guard station teetered over the water of the Pacific in North Cove, Washington. By the middle of the decade, the station was gone—as was a post office, a schoolhouse, and one of the state’s earliest lighthouses.
Both methods cut off sediment resupply to the beach and, in the case of a seawall, can eventually destroy the beach entirely. “There’s so much wave energy hitting this hard structure and reflecting back into the sea that it scours away the near-shore sands, washing them away,” Kaminsky explains. Shoreline armoring projects also require a lot of expensive maintenance.
