Re: $700 billion could also... I just moved from Panama City, FL, and let me tell you, it takes less than 6 months for the underbrush and weeds to grow back high enough that you would know it was ever gone.
But yeah, they probably did do that a lot in the 80's, but that was 20 years ago. A lot of stuff has been growing since then. Or someone just built a walmart/condo/housing comunity there.
"Coastal Erosion" is caused by waves removing sand from beaches. PC spent over $3m to have sand dredged out of the Gulf and put back on the beach right before Ivan hit.

Wetlands and coastal swamps are different ecosystems from a beach, so what works on a beach doesn't work in wetlands or coastal swamps.
And no, it has not gotten better. Saltwater intrusion is a process that accelerates. And in 20 years, the problem has gotten worse in the wetlands, putting more and more homes and industry at risk.

Coastal refers to much more than waves removing just sand from a beach and is not always repaired with the simple task of pumping sand in.
Like I said, research the topic.
