You run a business selling bait to fisherman near the tip of a large sand spit.  A sand and gravel company owns coastal property up the coast from youthe other direction from the tip of the spit.  The sand and gravel company plans to dredge sand from the beach and mine the sand and gravel from a seacliff that is eroding in the coastal zone.  What should be your opinion on this sand and gravel operation?
A) You should go into business with the sand and gravel operator and have them deliver sand to your beach to help tourism.
B) You should look for a lawyer or a real estate agent because the sand and gravel operation will destroy your sand spit in time
C) There is no problem; the operator will increase sediment supply to the beach which will help your little sand spit.
D) There is no problem; the longshore drift is away from you. It is people up the coast who should be concerned.
