What is NOT a viable long-term solution to reducing the effects of beach erosion?
   a. Learn to live with actively eroding beaches, rather than fighting natural processes.
   b. Move buildings and roads back from the beach after storms.
   c. Remove old dams on rivers feeding sand to the beach.
   d. Stabilize sea cliffs, so they dont collapse onto beaches.
   e. Move cliff-top houses back from the cliffs to let cliffs erode.

Question 2

Why can non-native plantings on dunes be counterproductive in protecting beaches?
   a. Non-native plants rarely survive in beach environments.
   b. Non-native plants can require artificial watering, leading to a rise in the water table and gully formation.
   c. Non-native plants can block the wind from moving the sand to and from the dunes.
   d. Non-native plants can overtake the dunes, covering most of the sand, and require frequent cut-back.
   e. Non-native plantings can change the soil acidity, making the sand more likely to blow away.
