Seaside 2025 3--Strange Pipe

Google says it's a "Seaside whatsis".  In all our years of coming down, I've not before noticed this contraption sticking out of the surf.

Pipes in beach sand, often large and black, are typically part of beach nourishment projects, used to pump sand from offshore locations onto the beach to combat erosion. These pipelines are part of a process called beach nourishment, where sand is dredged from offshore areas and pumped onto the beach to replenish lost sand and widen the shoreline. In some cases, pipes in beach sand could also be part of a drainage system, designed to remove excess water from the beach.

Further research shows that the device pumps saltwater into the Seaside Aquarium.
