This book is intended for property owners whose land is located on sheltered waters protected from direct action of open ocean waves. As a reader, you may be personally concerned about some aspect of shore protection because your house or cottage is threatened by continued erosion or a sandy beach you once enjoyed as disappeared. Whatever your personal circumstances, it is probably small comfort to know that your plight is shared by many others. In trying to solve your problem, you may have sought the advice of others or observed the means they have used to combat erosion problems. Or, you may have been approached by a local firm trying to sell either construction services or some shore protection device. While such resources may sometimes achieve satisfactory results, you and a majority of others are probably reading this because you have been unable to solve your problems and have suffered substantial capital losses in the process. If such is the case, then this report is for you.

This report defines the scope of the Federal shore protection program over the period 1950-1993 in terms of: the number of projects and types of protective measures; lineal distances of protected shorelines; project costs and expenditures to date; and the quantities of sand used in the restoration and subsequent nourishment of beaches. This report also provides a projection of future costs of constructed protects requiring continued Federal involvement such as beach nourishment as well as an analysis of projected costs for projects which have a strong possibility of being constructed in the next five to ten years (1999 to 2004).
