It goes by many names, beachfill, beach nourishment, beach replenishment, dredge and fill, beach protection, or storm damage reduction. But whatever you call it these types of projects are the work of the US Army Corps of Engineers used to "control erosion", "protect property", and "restore" America's beaches.

This site is dedicated to telling the other side of the story of these projects; their impacts on recreation, the environment, beach and marine habitats and wildlife. Please use this information as you see fit to educate your local community before your beaches are forever altered.
