Jens Figlus, assistant professor of ocean engineering at Texas A&M - Galveston, says the question of how
much beach erosion occurred may be hard to answer because erosion always goes hand - in - hand with deposition somewhere else.
Hurricane Harvey left its mark on
much of the Texas coast, leaving at least $ 100 billion in damages, but it very likely worsened a problem that has been plaguing the coast for years —
beach erosion.
