A coastal community might not choose beach nourishment as a good solution to beach erosion for the following two reasons:
a. **Not a permanent solution** - Beach nourishment typically requires repeated applications, as the sand can be eroded over time due to natural processes, meaning it's not a long-term fix.
b. **High costs and time** - The process of acquiring, transporting, and depositing new sand can be very expensive and time-consuming, making it a less attractive option for a community with budget constraints.
While options c and d present relevant considerations, they do not directly address the core issues of long-term effectiveness and financial feasibility.
