"The purpose of this study is to determine the Federal interest in participating in the cost of placing suitable material from Thimble Shoal Channel and/or Atlantic Ocean Channel ... on the beach at Sandbridge in Virginia Beach rather than depositing it in an offshore disposal area. The evaluation report will consider only that material to be provided from the 55-foot-deep outbound channel which is part of the Norfolk Harbor and Channels, Virginia, project."--Page 1.
Like ocean beaches, sheltered coastal areas experience land loss from erosion and sea level rise. In response, property owners often install hard structures such as bulkheads as a way to prevent further erosion, but these structures cause changes in the coastal environment that alter landscapes, reduce public access and recreational opportunities, diminish natural habitats, and harm species that depend on these habitats for shelter and food. Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts recommends coastal planning efforts and permitting policies to encourage landowners to use erosion control alternatives that help retain the natural features of coastal shorelines.
