Apparently we are down to the last of the beaches now. The only ones left are those which 120 metres above sea level 20,000 years ago.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Global warming is actually very advantageous for anything slimy/disgusting, and a disaster for anything fluffy/lovely.

Building on or near the beach is eating them. A beach and the dunes are the natural way to take the force out of the waves. Like an airbag. Controlling the rivers is the other problem. But there is hope, sea level is falling.
I went to the Lake Worth beach a couple of weeks ago. September is the perfect time to go. School is back in session, so it was completely empty, but the water was still warm. Oh, and plenty of beach too.
A lot of people don’t realize that Palm Beach is really an ancient coral reef. You can actually drive through part of it on the north side of the island. http://goo.gl/maps/dAR2F Lots of sea level rise left to go before that baby goes back under the ocean.

But these geniusus say it was the 1.3 feet not the 5 feet that caused all the flooding.
