Do we want an artificial reef?
It might be a serious consideration as a way to improve the coastal defences at Borth but what does everyone REALLY want?

I've cast my vote...but I'm not telling you what it was!! 
What I'd really like to see would be that coastal defences weren't needed and so everything could dtay the way it is now. However,
leaving nature to take its course would probably result in our house (which isn't even built yet) flooding which I don't want.
I obviously don't want the rock breakwaters either as they would ruin the surf, look ugly and just be plain silly.
As far as the reefs go, and improvement in the surf would be good as long as there are no environmental impacts elsewhere along this
coast, but the prospect of an influx of surfers just because Borth has an artificial reef doesn't really appeal to me.

After what happened with the Newquay artificial reef.I doubt that it will ever happen in Borth.

I wouldn't of thought Newquay was high on the list for an artificial reef as there isn't really a problem that the sea is going to
over run Newquay. Just my opinion but Newquay would want a reef just to beef up the waves not for flood defences as in Borth. Guess we
all have to wait and see what happens
