Before renourishing an eroded beach it is necessary to know why it has been eroded and where the sediment has gone: landward, seaward or alongshore. This chapter deals with the causes of beach erosion, including alterations in processes and sediment supply, along with anthropogenic influences.

Erosion and the beaches of Negril
Ocean & Coastal Management, 2017Abstract In Negril, beach erosion is a major environmental concern, caused by similar anthropogenic stressors impacting populated coastal areas worldwide. This review recapitulates the environmental circumstances leading to beach erosion in Negril through the lens of global and regional trends, arguing in favor of the ecosystem approach for long term

Prior to considering beach renourishment, it is important to understand the potential alternative means of managing beach erosion, and consider beach renourishment in the context of one of many responses. Structural methods are briefly outlined before discussion on non-structural and adaptive methods.

The role of beach and sand dune vegetation in mediating wave run up erosion
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2019Coastal dunes are often the first and only line of physical defense for communities subjected to damaging storms and waves. Planting vegetation on them has been proposed as one way to increase their protective capacity, but it is unknown how dune plant ...

Calibration data requirements for modelling subaerial beach storm erosion
Coastal Engineering, 2019Numerical coastal erosion models are used by engineers to predict the magnitude of storm erosion at the coastline. In particular, the ‘dry’ region of the beach, extending landwards from the waterline to include the beach face, berm and dunes, is a ...

Beach Erosion: Causes and Stabilization
2012Natural and human-related causes of beach erosion are discussed and illustrated by examples. Sea level rise, trapping of sand by natural inlets and migration of natural inlets are the most pervasive natural causes. Construction of navigation works, followed by reduction in sediment delivery to the coast and subsidence induced by ground fluid extraction

Understanding Beach Erosion and Accretion
Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1983Improved understanding of beach erosion and accretion has been attained by reanalyzing large-scale, two-dimensional monochromatic laboratory data, using the data to develop an empirical beach volume change model, and systematically studying the influence of each parameter on predicted beach volume changes.
