You’re absolutely correct that in this area, his dynamic berm fits the hydrology, and that these are not good solutions in other places.
Examples:
- If the coast is too steep, the rocks won’t reach an equilibrium, and you now just have erosion of rock before your erosion of sand.
- If egg-laying sea/coastal life needs sand like sea turtles or some birds
- Surfers and tourism (as you mentioned)
- If the sand erosion is acting as a source for something downstream; stopping the sand movement will cause erosion in that area (nourishing the beach with sand would probably be a better fit)
