The issue at that point is damaging the PLANE and those onboard, not the people on the ground.

They are in use in many airports to deflect jet exhaust from sensitive areas both environmental and structural. Just thought they might work here.

The problem with them in SXM is because the runway is so tight already and a solid barrier would leave even less margin for error.

The ones that I have seen are MUCH taller than that. I don't see how a four foot tall wall would do any good?

Correct...it was a low off the cuff estimate...the normal height is 8 feet which is approximately the height of the present fence. The barrier itself is easily broken into fragments if it is struck.
Point being it would remove the attraction for anyone to hang on the fence AND remove the sand/object blasting issues from those on the beach and make the area a place just for watching planes land.

The process of natural selection works pretty well when allowed without intervention.
