Notes[edit]

• Developed as part of the Science Sprints to Support Regulation project, and analysis was informed by the needs of regulatory actors.
• Provides a synthesis of all known and available evidence of beach nourishment effectiveness as of summer 2022.
• This report was used to initiate and inform the Beach Nourishment page in 2023.
• Authors provide the following qualified assessments:
  • "Beach nourishment is an effective restoration strategy when included in a suite of tools."
  • "Effectiveness of beach nourishment actions is sensitive to the volume of sediment placed."
  • "Ecological benefits of beach nourishment are largely inconsistent and remain generally unknown; further directed research activities are warranted."
  • "Project design requirements for beach nourishment should include better accounting of sediment loss due to natural processes."
  • "Cost/benefit of beach nourishment may warrant alternative strategies"
