Beach NourishmentBeach Nourishment, a process in which sand or sediments lost by longshore drifts or erosion are replaced on a certain area of a beach. It involves the transportation of sand or other materials from other areas to the affected area. This process is usually cheap. This is part of a coastal defense scheme. However, the downside of this is that the beach must be constantly nourished as the seas will continue to erode.
