ORNL researchers found that natural beaches recover better from #hurricanes than those with manmade fortifications. The study highlights how human-made structures can hinder the natural restoration of sand and vegetation, affecting coastal stability. As climate change drives more frequent storms, understanding these impacts is crucial for protecting coastal communities and infrastructure. #ClimateChange
