FOLLY BEACH, S.C. — Leaders in Folly Beach say efforts to cut down on sand erosion in the area are working.
According to a new report, the beach lost only 20% of sand since the last renourishment project. That work involves adding more sand to vulnerable areas.
According to reports from WPDE, 50% of sand was lost after two previous renourishment projects in 2014 and 2018.
The city said it is also working to restore dunes and vegetation.
