An artificial beach that prevents storm waves from attacking the base of a cliff can be used as a means of coastal protection in preference to sea walls or boulder ramparts, providing it persists for a sufficient period to be cost-effective. To achieve this, it is necessary to understand the processes that erode emplaced beach material and disperse it offshore and alongshore. Monitoring of artificial beaches has generally been restricted to the emplaced sector, to decide when renourishment is necessary, but a wider approach to the management of artificial beaches should include mapping of changes in adjacent areas into which emplaced sand moves and assessments of whether it is beneficial or otherwise in these areas. Examples will be given f...
