I have been disappointed through the last 20 years about the lack of action by Glynn county officials concerning our beach erosion on St. Simons Island. At times there has been little or no beach at high tide. Recent storms have washed away the dunes that give the beach stability as various plants hold them together. My biggest concern however is that much of the sand we had has washed out between the beach and the sand bar. This has created shallow water that at times becomes stagnated which has allowed bacteria to grow- thus we get warning signs about entering the water. Not too many years ago I could not walk from the beach to the sand bar, the water would be over my head. Now, at times, I can walk 50 to 75 yards from the beach and the water will only be knee deep. The water between the beach and sand bar needs to be able to be exchanged more often and effectively. Finally, more Johnson rocks are needed in a few locations.
