👉 Beaches engineering, also known as beach nourishment or beach replenishment, is a coastal management technique aimed at combating erosion and maintaining the integrity of beaches. This process involves the strategic placement of sand or sediment onto eroded beaches to restore their width, volume, and profile. The primary goal is to protect coastal infrastructure, preserve natural habitats, and enhance recreational opportunities by creating or maintaining beaches. Engineers carefully analyze sediment sources, transport dynamics, and wave patterns to ensure that the added material will effectively counteract erosion without causing unintended consequences, such as disrupting local ecosystems or altering natural beach processes. This method is often used in conjunction with other coastal defense strategies to create a comprehensive approach to beach conservation.
