On our loss of the $23 million beach replenishment project I wonder how much of that beach replenishment expenditure was for the public’s use and if the Feds will fund it again. 100% public use...thats why sea colony (private) and north bethany (private) couldn't participate in the project, and the entire beach in Bethany was required to sign a public use easement.

And just for information sake recent studies are predicting a ten year "NATURAL" cooling trend. Now how does that happen if "MAN MADE" global warming is so imminent ? Sorry Maria , I know this will turn your report into something completely different. And as someone who has been out spoken as being against the wind project from the start , just let me say that this boating accident is just that a boating accident, it has nothing to do with the bad idea that wind power is, this could have happened if this boat and crew were out there fishing. I have many reasons for being against wind power, but they do not include bad seamanship. Stop it Alan your scaring the children .

This sort of destructive storm will become more common. We need to set more effective limits on waterfront development. am As global warming heats up, we will get faster sea level rise and more violent weather.

This was a most unfortunate incident. I do have to question, though, why they were out there in the first place on a day like this. As to the beach replenishment program, if we believe the federal government is going to cut another check, we are sadly mistaken. I think Bethany Beach, The State of Delaware is on their own. Between the inlet bridge and the beach problems, tourism in this region is going to become greatly hampered, but I guess for locals, that may be a good thing until they realize it's taking a toll on their piggy banks.
