Answer to Question 1

Beach nourishment involves replenishing the sand supply with sand from elsewhere; thus, the sand is typically of a different size, shape, sorting, and composition. These differences pose problems in terms of erodibility and the kinds of life the new sand will support. Instead of building structures or adding sand to beaches, relocation is another option. Many coastal scientists and planners are calling for a policy shift from defending and rebuilding beaches and coastal property in high hazard areas to relocating storm-damaged or at-risk buildings and letting nature reclaim the beach. People with significant shoreline investments shudder at the thought of not rebuilding and defending coastal developments from the erosional wrath of the sea.
