Nope.

Every animal on this planet is going to go **POOF** eventually, just like the tide and the sand islands. It is nature's way.

How fast do we have to circumnavigate to break out of earth orbit? How much tankage will we need to get to the nearest habitable space island? Will Amazon deliver boat parts there?

One of the places I anchor is called Cape Bowling Green. Whenever I rounded the cape I noticed lots of people fishing from the end of it. It's a big sand spit which stretches north and then north west from the mainland. The bay that the bay encloses is a no fishing green zone in the Great Barrier Reef marine park.

The last couple of times there have been no one fishing. On enquiring I found out that the reason no one any longer fishes there is that the cape has prograded far enough that it is now in the no fishing green zone where fishing is a criminal offense.

Nature doesn't always lose by these sand shifts.
