On Sunday, State Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg (D-Long Beach) and Senator Dean Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) announced $25 million in funding to fight erosion in Point Lookout. Officials say approximately $7 million will go toward an immediate, but temporary fix. Sand will be dredged from nearby inlets and dumped on the beaches. The rest of the money will supplement federal funds to pay for a permanent solution by the Army Corps of Engineers. Residents say it?s about time they got help fighting beach erosion. A member of the Point Lookout Civic Association says every year the beach loses as much as 15 feet of sand. Assemblyman Weisenberg told News 12 Long Island if something wasn?t done he?d be lifeguarding on Sunrise Highway.
