Beach nourishment is a viable strategy to manage beach erosion because it provides a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to replenishing sand lost through natural processes. By adding sand to eroded beaches, the shoreline can be widened and strengthened, providing protection from future erosion and storm damage. Additionally, beach nourishment can support local economies by maintaining beaches as popular tourist destinations. However, beach nourishment may have limited effectiveness in the long term as it requires ongoing maintenance and can disrupt natural ecosystems. Overall, beach nourishment can be a valuable tool in managing beach erosion when used in combination with other coastal management strategies.
