Unfortunately I do not think the coastal communities built on natural sandbars (like the Rockaways) are possible to save. We should have never built on them. They are a natural defense barrier during storms and thus they face the brunbt of storms with no protection themselves. It's sad, but in the future they may have to be returned to nature. For an example, Cape May was once twice the size it is today.
