Dead trees victims of raging seas - and delays over earthquake repairs

know how you feel

I dont think the loose stones would stop the sea water getting in to the roots. The problem is that the tree is below high tide after the quakes. The city needs to make a decision on how they deal with the sea though. Eg is it worth $10k, $100k or $10m to save 100m2 of coastal reserve from becoming a salt marsh?

The headline for this article is totally misleading. This damage is not caused by raging seas, which implies that climate change might be playing a part, which its not currently. The earthquakes caused the problem and the Council has been steadfastly ignoring it, hoping us Easties will go away. We wont!

guys wake up CCC loathes the sea water! you wont get much help from them! My guess they were put off by the long trip out here in the 4 ships...

Any monies the council has for the Brighton area should be spent on cleaning up the central shopping area rather on delaying the reclaiming of the estuary land by nature. Chop the exotic trees down, replant with salt water loving natives, add a few board walks and you have a reserve thats in harmony with nature.

Try living without the oxygen they produce?

no surprises there, the sea is coming so get out of the way all you lot who live by the sea.

yep more money for the trees,lately trees seem to be more important than people

pine trees do not like saltwater......firewood for the needy then replant with a suitable native.
