This book was released on 1996-01-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many coastal communities have built structures at their beaches and added quantities of sand in contoured designs to combat erosion. Are such beach nourishment projects technically and economically sound? Or are they nothing more than building sand castles, as critics claim? Beach Nourishment and Protection provides a sound technical basis for decision-making, with recommendations regarding the utility of beach nourishment, the appropriate role of federal agencies, responsibility for cost, design methodology, and other issues. This volume: Examines the economic and social role of beaches, the history of beach nourishment projects, and management strategies for shore protection. Discusses the role of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies, with a close-up look at the federal flood insurance program. Explores the state of the art in project design and prediction of outcomes, including the controversy over the use of traditional and nontraditional shore protection devices. Addresses what is known about the environmental impacts of beach nourishment. Identifies what outcomes should be targeted for continued monitoring by project officials. Beach Nourishment and Protection provides insight into the technical, economic, environmental, and policy implications of beach nourishment and protection, with examples and suggested research directions.

This book was released on 2003-01-23 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for engineers, students of coastal processes and laypersons interested in beach nourishment, which consists of the placement of large quantities of good quality sediment on the beach to advance the shoreline seaward. The improvement of project performance through proper design and the predictability of performance are emphasized. The overall longevity of a project is addressed as are local erosional areas. The roles which wave height, project length and sediment quality play in project performance are addressed quantitatively. The results are illustrated through reference to a number of monitored nourishment projects. Biological and economic aspects of beach nourishment are addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several studies have been undertaken to describe the sand beach fauna, which have been divided into 3 zones, although terminology has varied. There have been reported striking similarities in the types of organisms inhabiting sandy beaches in various locations. The degree of wave exposure, as well as the environment of the beach and the coarseness of the sand appear to be major factors controlling the diversity of sand beach communities. The biology of selected organisms includes Emerita talpoida (mole crabs), Domax spp. (coquina clams), Haustoriid Amphipods, Surf zone fishes, Ocyzpode quadrata (ghost crab), Polychaetes and Sea turtles. Most of the studies reported little or no long term adverse effects of beach nourishment. The effects of beach nourishment were reported similar to the effects of storm events. Experimental sediment burial studies were carried out on the intertidal organisms, with the results shown in Table VIII. The results were dependent upon the coarseness and depth of the sediment. Recommendations included: A general review of data on the effects of beach nourishment on sand beach macrofauna suggests that minimal biological effects result. Some mortality of organisms may occur when grain size is a poor match to existing sediments; recovery of the beach system appears to be rapid. Turtle nesting may be negatively affected due to sand compaction for about one year. Further biological monitoring should be continued until more data is available. Nourishment sand should match natural sand as closely as possible in size distribution and chemical characteristics. The upper beach should be plowed following nourishment to counteract compaction in turtle nesting areas. Avoid covering dune vegetation with sand. Try to avoid nourishment during turtle nesting; if this is not possible, relocate turtle nests. Biological monitoring techniques should be standardized according to specific guidelines.

Download or read book Beach Renourishment written by Eric Bird and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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
