Abstract
Coastal protection is one of many objectives of beach renourishment and is considered in this chapter as a background to the debate between the traditional use of structures and alternative ‘soft’ or adaptive options for coastal management (and protection). A number of examples are used to illustrate some of the principles when considering beach renourishment for coastal protection.
