What can be done to avoid the erosion of barrier islands?

A barrier island is sand not rock. That sand is going to be moved by waves, wind, and storms. It can't be stopped but it can be slowed by allowing beach plants to grow. (This is why so many beaches ban ATVs.) They help hold the sand in place. Boulders also provide a temporary delay.

You can use a bitumen paint or burn on a felt layer.\n\nSimply sealing a crack will likely not stop the problem (although it might reduce it enough that you don't care).

Get a shovel and a pail and go to the beach. Pound some sand..into the pail, I mean, and you'll have a great source of it.\n\nOr break a window.

Mudslides(flows can be helped and are caused from \nlack of plants,roots ,brush,trees ect on the sides of hills.With the escavation and creation of new\nhousing ect and for the clean hillside look.The\nimportance of the undergrowth of grass ,trees ect \nhave been depleted and not replaced.They have \nprograms for beaches and hillsides,even in foreign\ncountries that realise the importance of root and plant systems in hillside lands.The winding and \nweb patterned root systems of these plants,trees\nacts like a "net" and the plants themselves and erosion barrier.

I believe walking around with a heavy metal detctor will help. And there is no repetive movment, so that will help too.

If you are refering to those real small islands at the north end, they are off limits because they go under water at high tide.  There is nothing on them for you to see because of this.

Unless you're willing to sail the seas in hopes of finding an undiscovered island that magically popped out of the ocean while the satellites weren't looking, everything's owned by developers these days.  Sorry, but squatting's out of the question.  However, if you look far enough out in the boondocks, land shouldn't be too expensive.  If you're outside of city borders, laws are usually pretty lax.  You can do what you want when you've got no neighbors. :)

the big problem with that is. Crap like that never stays covered up.\nCase in point, Cats use the kids sand box and cover it up but the damn things creep up to the surface.\nI suggest using a hydroho with the largest boom to get deep enough LOL!!!!!!!! I can operate it to!

Well,  there is a new island forming just south of the big island.  It is about 3000 feet under sea, and is not expected to break the surface of the ocean for another 10,000 years.  I'd say that is pretty fast in geological terms.

Iron and water.  Just wash the sand off the iron.

Well in some circles it's been suggested that salt, not sea salt but salt from the earth, can restore the memory's of a restrained zombie, if the salt is placed in the zombies mouth it will restore the memory's but the hunger will still be there, however if the person had a strong will in life then that person may be able to resist the hunger and maintain much of there humanity. Also by the same method, a person can place a line or circle of salt to create a barrier that they can't cross, but if all else fails grab the biggest heaviest vehicle you can find, load it with guns, ammo, food, water and other items that you might need and book it out of there, go as far away from the city's as you can, up in the mountains or an island that only has one way on and one way off. Do a recon. of the island first to see if it's free of zombies and if there are any other survivers that you can partner up with, because there is strength in numbers, after all thats most likely the way the zombies will get you.Now if the island is clear of zombies you then need to blow the bridge with what ever means you have at your disposal, but that by it self isn't enough you need to set up perimeter patrolls along the edge of town just to be safe. If you chose the mountain path, you will need to find a clearing with a cave near by, it would be best if the cave entrance had a narrow opening so if the zombie hordes charge you position they will have to enter the cave single file and that will be your kill zone. if you survive long enough the zombies will deplete there food and will eventualy decompose, when this happens do not return to the cities right away because were there is corpses there is disease and scavengers, both human and animal, it would be best to remain were you are for a few months, just to be safe. But hey thats just how i would handle the situation. oh and remember its better to have something and never need it, than to not have something and need it later. alway's think ahead.

it won't sink, The Channel Tunnel ties the small island to main land and helps it float! =)\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_Tunnel

Walking or speed walking will help.  Also,  talk a large beach ball,  hold it with your feet,  then lift and rotate it around in various directions.  There are several good exercisese to help in this area.

Very little sadly.  Besides not building coastal communities there is very little we can do to avoid the damages caused by such events.  Some tsunami walls will help, but at a certain class of typhoon even those won't help.

It's not uncommon.  Try a Dramamine patch.  Put it on 12 hours before you make land fall.

We'll have to move inland when the oceans rise and cover all the present port cities. New Orleans, Indonesia, you think you had it bad last time...? The next one will not be as fast moving, but it will be deeper. \n\nAnd the main thing is, there's nothing we can do to prevent it because it isn't caused by human activities.\n\nSo: there are no direct health effects, if that's what you meant, but there will be large social, economic, industrial and agricultural effects.

Covering the reefs would kill them\nthey need lots of fresh water and sunlight
