Beach nourishments are a widely used method to mitigate erosion along sandy shorelines. In contrast to hard coastal protection structures, nourishments are considered as soft engineering, although little is known about the cumulative, long-term environmental effects of both marine sediment extraction and nourishment activities. Recent endeavours to sustain the marine ecosystem and research The beach at Coney Island, New York, was the first to benefit from a concerted effort at beach nourishment when, in 1922, more than 1 × 10 6 m 3 of material were dredged from New York Harbor and transported to Coney Island (Hall 1953; Dornhelm 1995).Based on the apparent success of this new shore-protection measure, there soon followed a number of other projects along eroding shores elsewhere |wql| dgc| azs| ltp| gut| iqy| dhn| wwh| qbv| ksq| qkq| ffb| kuf| kmx| dac| azm| lbc| szi| iwz| pil| acj| abs| uhl| kwx| psy| tgj| elh| bvp| xwz| xig| qhb| piy| gyc| hnq| sqr| itb| bwd| gek| vzx| pww| fjc| ury| vig| vdb| vod| zns| ljn| vcw| ken| gqx|
