Beach renourishment is the restoration of beaches that have been
depleted. The text deals with the sources of beach sediment as well
as the causes and typical responses to beach erosion, before
discussion of beach renourishment. Some of the first documented
renourishment projects were undertaken in the early 1900's on the
east coast of the United States. Several countries have since
renourished beaches, particularly during the past few decades. Most
projects have been in the United States, the United Kingdom, some
European countries and Australia. These are reviewed and experience
from various beach renourishment projects used for discussion of
the following topics: 1. The need for preliminary investigations 2.
Sources of sediment for beach renourishment 3. Methods of beach
renourishment 4. Design considerations 5. Monitoring changes after
beach renourishment 6. Assessment of performance 7. Modelling of
beach renourishment 8. Beach renourishment for coast protection 9.
Environmental impacts 10. Costs and benefits 11. Response of
renourished beaches to a rising sea level
