- •
Human actions can reduce sediment inputs to an estuarine shore, causing erosion.
- •
Maintenance dredging provides a source of compatible sediment for a feeder beach.
- •
Fill moved rapidly out of a nourished area to restore beaches downdrift.
- •
Relatively low estuarine wave heights can cause substantial topographic change.
- •
Restoring sediment budgets rather than landforms can be an effective solution.
