Beach nourishment is a coastal management technique used to combat erosion and restore beaches. It involves adding sand or sediment to a beach area to increase its width and elevation. This process helps protect coastal properties and ecosystems from storm damage and rising sea levels. The sand used in beach nourishment is often sourced from nearby rivers, offshore deposits, or dredged from the ocean floor. The project can improve recreational opportunities and enhance the natural beauty of the coastline, benefiting both local communities and wildlife habitats. However, it requires regular maintenance as natural forces can erode the newly added sand over time.
