Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an overview of potential ecological consequences of beach nourishment, which involves adding sand to beaches to counteract erosion. The author presents the results of a study conducted at Imperial Beach, California, where approximately 2 million cubic meters of sand from nearby San Diego Bay was pumped onto a stretch of beach. The study examined biological communities in the area before, during, and after the nourishment project to assess its impacts on the local marine life. The findings suggest that beach nourishment can have both positive and negative effects on marine organisms. On the one hand, the new sand can provide a more stable habitat for some species, particularly those adapted to sandy environments. On the other hand, the addition of sand can also disrupt existing communities and lead to a decline in species diversity. The study also found that the impacts of beach nourishment can vary depending on the type of sediment used, the timing of the project, and the specific characteristics of the beach environment. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the potential ecological impacts of beach nourishment and highlights the importance of considering these impacts when planning such projects.
