There is a breakwater at the entrance to our wharf. If it continued further out to sea, where there is more water, boats could come in from several directions and go around the sand accumulating along the strand. However, the breakwater was built in two phases. It was supposed to be facing south, and another breakwater was to be built facing southeast, but while the work was underway, funding ran out. The builders abandoned the section that was suppose to be facing southeast and turned the breakwater further south.
The initial project was ultimately changed, and, as a result, we have a problem with the silting of sand. Engineers have told us that they built a breakwater to stop the sea. It's true that they stopped the sea, but the sand has created a serious problem for us. And as time goes on, the situation gets worse because the sand along the strand is now building up in front of the wharf. At some point, there won't be any water left.
