Beach
Nourishment
Beach
nourishment can be
expensive, as it involves
the transportation and
placement of large
quantities of sand. Costs
can vary depending on
the length of the beach
and the amount of sand
needed.

Seawalls
Seawalls can be
costly to construct,
especially if they need
to be reinforced or
extended over time.
Maintenance costs can
also be significant.

Groynes
The installation and
maintenance of groynes
can be expensive,
particularly if they are
made of durable
materials like concrete
or rock.

Breakwaters
Building
breakwaters can be
expensive due to the
need for large-scale
construction and the use
of durable materials.

Dune Restoration
Dune restoration
projects typically involve
planting vegetation and
stabilizing sand dunes,
which can require
ongoing maintenance
and monitoring.

BENEFITS
1. Beach
Nourishment
Beach
nourishment helps to
restore eroded beaches,
providing protection
against coastal erosion
and storm damage. It
also enhances
recreational value and
tourism, which can
generate economic
benefits for coastal
communities.
2. Seawalls
Seawalls provide
effective protection
against wave action and
erosion. They can
safeguard coastal
properties and
infrastructure, reducing
the risk of damage from
storms and flooding.
groynes
Groynes help to trap
sediment and prevent
beach erosion. They
maintain or enhance
recreational beaches by
stabilizing the shoreline
and reducing the loss of
sand.
breakwaterS
Breakwaters provide
protection by reducing
wave energy and
creating calmer waters
near the shore. They
can help to maintain
navigational channels
and protect harbors, as
well as provide
recreational
opportunities like
boating and fishing.
DUNE
RESTORATIONS
Dune restoration
helps to protect coastal
areas from erosion and
storm surges. Dunes act
as natural barriers,
absorbing wave energy
and reducing the impact
of storms. They also
provide important
habitats for wildlife and
contribute to the
aesthetic value of
coastal landscapes.

It's important to note


that the costs and
benefits of these
strategies can vary
depending on factors
such as local conditions,
project scale, and the
specific goals of coastal
management.
