Beaches Need Sand. Beach nourishment is essential for the economies, habitats, and livelihood of coastal communities. But how does the nourishment process work?

--> Identify Sand Source: Beach-quality sand, often found in barrier island inlets or offshore, is sourced to match the native beach material in terms of grain size, color, and composition.

--> Dredging and Transport: Sand is then dredged from the seafloor and transported to the beach via hydraulic pipelines. In some cases sand is trucked from quarries on land.

--> Placement: Sand is carefully spread along the beach across a specific template with an engineered slope to form a protective berm. Dunes are created for extra protection and are vegetated with native dune grasses to anchor the sand.

To support beach nourishment and say #YEStoBeaches, visit the link in @americancoastalcoalition bio, or sign our petition at: https://americancoastalcoalition.org/yestobeaches2…

We also want to extend a sincere thank you to Ted Kingston, whose incredible photography helps us visualize the beauty and importance of these coastal projects. ... See MoreSee Less

When beaches thrive, so do the people who rely on them.

Beaches support mental wellbeing, protect communities from coastal storms, provide jobs, and bolster local economies. If we protect beaches, beaches protect us. Say #YEStoBeaches and the communities they support by signing the @americancoastalcoalition petition:

A huge thank you to Ted Kingston for providing these fantastic photos to help us share our message.
