Across the country’s beaches, where a lot of folks have spent this first weekend of summer, sand is disappearing at an alarming pace. Coastal storms and rising sea levels fueled by climate change are causing beaches to suffer from upstate New York to southern Florida. 90% of our beaches are eroding, from a few inches a year up to 50 feet a year in Louisiana, which is the erosion hotspot in the united states. In an effort to save our beaches, Several States have implemented a beach nourishment/restoration project.
Beach nourishment is a means of shore protection designed to retain and rebuild natural systems, such as beaches, while reducing or preventing the consequences of beach erosion. Beach nourishment is the only shore protection method that adds sand to the coastal system and is the preferred method for shore protection today.
During construction of a beach nourishment project, beach-quality sand from either an offshore borrow area or upland sand mine is placed along the coastline to restore an eroding beach. Ultimately, the beach nourishment project widens a beach and advances the shoreline seaward.
