Holmberg Technologies's Highlighted in WFLA-NBC's

July 3, 2008 - PRLog -- On Saturday, June 28, 2008, WFLA-NBC (Channel 8) in Tampa aired one of journalist Bob Hite's hour-long reports on the Tampa Bay area and its coastal environments.  Entitled "Bob Hite's 8 Country" (http://www.tbo.com/video/xml/MGB8KM3G3IF.html), this mainly looked at the history and present state of Egmont Key State Park and how it is being lost to coastal erosion.

Notably, 27 minutes into his report, Bob highlights the work of Dick Holmberg, a natural earth scientist, and his efforts to employ sustainable and environmentally sound methods to preserve and restore our coastal environments.  Bob presents video footage of both restored sites and interviews with clients and a scientist familiar with Holmberg's passive, permanent technology.

Holmberg Technologies (www.erosion.com) has considerable documentation including photographs, professional monitoring reports and university research on it website about Holmberg's environmentally sound and sustainable method of erosion control and coastal restoration.  Importantly, the site also has data about the causes of this erosion most of which is not natural, but caused by man's activities.

With over 30 years of independent, credible data of success and environmental soundness, Holmberg Technologies remains the best documented of those methods currently being employed.  It is far superior to beach "nourishment" which is, in fact, a starvation diet causing more erosion and environmental damage.  Holmberg's method is also far less costly and is permanent.  Its passive design works with nature's forces to induce the accretion of indigenous materials to create a natural shoreline.

Bob Hite has long supported environmentally sound methods of protecting and enhancing the Tampa Bay area's coastal habitats.  As such, he has also been a long supporter of Holmberg Technologies efforts to effect this in Florida and around the world.
