Manly BlogCoastal erosion and human intervention A rapidly escalating volume of traffic on ocean beaches "In the absence of the Bribie buffer and without the dune system on the surf coast, they would suddenly be exposed to storm surge and inundation.""Morton says the previous government long ignored the erosion under the assumption this was “mother nature” at work. But the new MP says the review will consider the impacts of human intervention, from dredging and wake from the offshore shipping channel to widespread coastal development.""Bribie Island resident, retired engineer and environmental volunteer John Oxenford agrees human intervention has fuelled the erosion – but he points to the 2007 opening of the beach to four-wheel drives as “opening a real Pandora’s box”.""The pressure of tens of thousands of vehicles and associated foot traffic since had prevented the natural regrowth of dunes during the winter period, and further exposed them to erosion during the summer months, he says.“Year over year over year, we’ve seen rapidly escalating volume of traffic on the ocean beach,” he says. “The end result of that is erosion.” " >> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/may/07/sunshine-coast-residents-fear-storm-surges-bribie-island-buffer" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/may/07/sunshine-coast-residents-fear-storm-surges-bribie-island-buffer</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/erosion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#erosion</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/coast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#coast</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/beach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#beach</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/coastaldevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#coastaldevelopment</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/traffic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#traffic</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Gold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gold</a> Coast <a href="https://aus.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SUVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SUVs</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cars</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FossilFuels</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CarsOnBeaches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CarsOnBeaches</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/sprawl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sprawl</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Caloundra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Caloundra</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BribieIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BribieIsland</a>

Flannery says this is an example of coastal protection done right. The forest was saved from development after a long-running campaign by traditional owners, the Dharawal people.""We exit the beach via stairs that lead to a manicured grass area, bike path and a row of large houses. Flannery is unimpressed. Unlike at his home, there is no bird habitat and, unsurprisingly, no birds. "This is not my thing. This is just concrete blocks surrounded by grass.
