With coastal erosion happening anyway what difference is a few holes . A quarry I was in for a few years uses to have about 50 of them every year. They were left to it on the quarry face. But we couldn't leave a straight face on any large stock pile of sand. As they would try and make nests in the straight face. If there was a slight angle on the face they wouldn't touch it.
