A lot of public brouhaha and sneaking suspicion are being created by the ongoing P389-million beach nourishment project at a segment of Manila Bay along Dewey Boulevard from the US Embassy towards the south side until the Mall of Asia. Most of the public uproar came from those who heard the term beach nourishment for the first time because their only exposure is body nourishment thru intake of multi-vitamins tablets. Beach nourishment is an old, old scientific practice and there are hundreds of successful beach nourishment projects all over the world but the most famous of all was done in Miami Beach Florida in the 1960s.
