Notes:
Coastal sections suffering from erosion generally show the commonsymptom of a lack of available sand to allow the build up of the naturalcoastal barrier. Soft methods of coastal protection, including beachnourishment, profile nourishment, feeder berms, compensation-dredging,aim to tackle the problem at its source, i.e. by supplying sand to thesystem. When thoroughly designed, these methods are considered the besttechnical/economical and appropriate solutions.
