Fencing used to defend dunes

An predictable 1,000 feet of slatted wood fencing gone up along numerous stretches of Sargent Beach Tuesday - to hold the sand, to build dunes and to deter drivers from running over what dunes there are.

Erosion has exposed much of the sand from Sargent Beach, even though narrow, thin strips of sand dunes evened out by ground cover have taken hold - until some body drives over them en route to the Gulf beach.

Sargent resident Tim Wooters donated the fencing, which was put up by jail trusties provided by Matagorda County Sheriff James Mitchell.
