    • Beach Nourishment

    Metadata Updated: March 15, 2024

    Beach Nourishment projects occur throughout coastal states in the United States. These projects can be privately, federally or state funded. Material used in nourishment comes from a variety of sources (inland sources, dredged navigational channels or offshore sites). This GIS dataset combines historical data compiled in the Western Carolina University Beach Nourishment Viewer database, as well as the National Beach Nourishment Database generated by the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association. The data contain attribute information on the general location of sand placement, primary funding source and funding type, volume of sediment emplacement (in cubic yards), length of beach nourished (in feet) and cost and inflated cost for over 2,000 beach nourishment episodes dating back to 1923.
