Abstract
Conceptually, the goals and engineering design associated with beach nourishment are very similar to those required for habitat restoration, with the primary component of both being placement of fill material. Similar analyses are required for characterization of historic geologic and environmental conditions, assessment of sediment compatibility, development of design and construction templates, application of coastal structures, and other design elements. With some modification, many of the design methodologies developed for beach nourishment can be adapted to the less-established field of wetlands restoration.
