Beach replenishment is a storm damage reduction and environmental sustainability effort used to restore eroded coastal areas damaged by severe climate conditions, such as storms, winds, waves and flooding. By depositing beach-quality sand along the shoreline, a beach replenishment can raise or expand a beach, while also directing the shoreline seaward. Beachgoers can expect to see the hopper dredge just offshore where the sand will be pumped through a submerged pipeline and discharged on the beach as a sand-slurry mixture. Earth-moving equipment such as bulldozers will grade the sand into place.
