Beach Construction Renourishment
Beach Renourishment
Beach renourishment is a controversial method of maintaining beach formations in their current form. This method attempts to undue the results of natural erosion and redeposition patterns by taking sediment from a borrow site (usually the ocean floor off shore from the beach) and pumping it onto the beach where bulldozers will then push it to align with prescribed height profiles.
