More sand being brought in to help Florida residents

More than a million cubic yards of sand is headed to the coastline of Volusia County. This will happen over the next year and a half and be broken down into different projects in an effort to strengthen the coast. On Tuesday, FOX 35 found crews working to fill TrapBags with sand for property owners along the coastline. It is an erosion control device that helps keep the sand in place. The reason this system works is because the sand is contained in the bag, ensuring the sand does not wash away in the tide. A hurricane, however, is another story. But, Jessica Fentress, Volusia County's coastal director, said they can survive a couple of high-tide cycles and a nor'easter event.
