I live, outside school period, at Montpellier. It's a very great town with lot of different landscape. We can go to the beach with a tramway, in 15-20minutes. At the little montain in 1 hour. At 20 minutes there is river etc...
It's very beautiful so lot of people are comming and destroy lot of place.
What attracts is a beach. But for satisfied tourism, mayor brings back sand for enlarge the sand beach. Ecosystem is degraded. Erosion destroyed this brings and lot of euros is lose for nothing.
In order to repair that, there are lot of association and meeting for find a solution.
For erosion, them try to move the problem with a digs. But move the probleme is not solution because don't repair !
Lot of discussions are in progress, but it is not restorate. And mayor continous to brings back sand at the bottom of sea.
