According to the Beachcare groups in the coastal settlement of Wooli north of Coffs Harbour, sand-traps on the foredune are working remarkably well.
Wooli Beach has survived the recent heavy surf and king-tides with very little damage, announced ABC News.
President of Coastal Communities Protection Alliance Wooli, Bruce Bird , said that the foredune traps have protected the main dune.
“ The only part that was affected was in-between the sand traps ,” Bird said. “There’s evidence the wave surge ran up between some but not all of them. Probably two or three were affected, and there was a little bit of scouring out that way. But there was no damage to the main dune, or the toe of the dune. ”
Mr Bird said the sand-traps have a built a solid foredune, and the beach is now looking very healthy.
