Abstract
An outline is given of the criteria pertinent to the design of artificially nourished beaches together with an explanation of how each is derived and used. A brief history is presented of 5 areas where the 4 types of artificial nourishment have been tried, namely the offshore dumping method, the stockpiling method, the continuous supply method, and the direct placement method. A tabular record is included of a number of artificially nourished and constructed beaches including factors relating to their placement and economic life.
