English term or phrase:beach nourishment
Objective:
As a result of dredging operations to extract coral sand for construction works, the sand movement close to the coastline around Matira Point was altered leading to coastal erosion. In an attempt to rectify the problem, a two-step strategy was employed, using both physical and biological restoration techniques.
Methods:
Physical restoration:
• Extraction pits created by dredging operations were refilled with 10,000 m3 of sand originating from the inner reef slope, to enable sediment transit to the coastline.
• Three 20 m long groynes2 were installed and ///beach nourishment/// implemented in between the groynes. In addition the shoreline was remodelled and vegetation replanted.
