"Maybe they will just pump more beach in like they do here." The property owners can't do that, the beach is public property. Local municipalities do that from time to time, Galveston dumps sand on the beach from time to time. But all it takes is one winter storm and it is gone. On the Texas Gulf, the problem is that the waves come in from a slight northerly angle on the average. But, the water comes straight back on the beach face. Like this \|\| \| So the sand tends to migrate south. Given that almost all of the rivers have dams on them, there is very little sand being fed into the top of the system.
