M17 Beach Renourishment

After the doom and gloom of last week, Jeidan is bringing us a much more hopeful topic; Beach Renourishment! We find out about "inland" sand (which answers our question about NH sandpits from last week's episode), the use of dredging, and how the constant upkeep of our beaches is crucial for the safety of those living near them. And how are they not just spraying fish everywhere? We have NO clue!
