Of all the controversial proposals put forth by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump,

An online petition against the wall from the Save the Waves Coalition reads:“Doughmore beach is one of western Ireland's most consistent beachbreaks and widely popular with a deep community of surfers and beachgoers. Construction of this seawall will destroy the sand dune habitat, restrict public access, negatively impact the quality of the surfing waves, and ultimately result in beach loss.”Since acquiring the golf course in 2014, Trump has said he will make it, “one of the greatest golf courses in the world.” But during his short span as proprietor, he has endured a series of storms that have eroded multiple meters of frontage on the course, hence the need for a wall. The proposition cites global warming – sea level rising, in particular – as the chief justification for the wall. And interestingly enough, during his political campaign, Trump has said he is: “not a big believer in global warming,” and called it “a total hoax.”The beach at Doughmore rests on the Wild Atlantic Way – or Ireland’s version of Highway 1 through Big Sur. It’s a jagged coastal road filled with steep cliffs and the Emerald Isle’s iconic natural beauty. Doughmore is one of the rare spots along the route that exists with soft sand. And that makes for a friendly surf spot amid a coastline of scary, dark, treacherous slab monsters. The local community aims to keep it that way.Few know that coast and its waves better than heavy-water surfer and environmentalist, Fergal Smith. "You can’t stop nature," Smith told Surfline. "It’s just another example of dumb humans trying to stop something they can’t. When will we learn that we should just accept that this is natural? That the storms are more violent and we have to work with it and around it, rather than trying to stop it. It doesn’t matter how big of a wall you build; it won’t stop the waves coming in."After Save the Waves blasted out the petition, an outpouring of support ensued. As the Save Doughmore – Doonbeg Beach Facebook page says, over 45,000 people have signed it:“That means 45,000 emails sent to 30 decision makers here in Ireland. Let's make sure they know the world doesn't want another wall, another beach covered in anything but sand, another example of mankind destroying nature for financial gain.”The Clare County Council has reviewed Donald’s proposal and they’ve requested more information surrounding 51 particular points. Trump's team now has until December 2016 to supply the missing specifics. But how many walls can one promote at the same time? How many physical barriers can occupy your time at once? For now, it seems like Trump is focusing his energy on another, evenwall in North America.++++++More stories by Dashel Pierson:Want breaking surf news, fresh videos, fullscreen photo galleries and more delivered straight to your inbox?
