Title:	Beach Nourishment
Short Name:	Beach_Nourishment
Status:	Completed
Abstract:	Beach Nourishment projects occur throughout coastal states in the United States. These projects can be privately, federally or state funded. Material used in nourishment comes from a variety of sources (inland sources, dredged navigational channels or offshore sites). This GIS dataset combines historical data compiled in the Western Carolina University Beach Nourishment Viewer database, as well as the National Beach Nourishment Database generated by the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association. The data contain attribute information on the general location of sand placement, primary funding source and funding type, volume of sediment emplacement (in cubic yards), length of beach nourished (in feet) and cost and inflated cost for over 2,000 beach nourishment episodes dating back to 1923.
Purpose:	To support coastal and ocean planning and other activities pursuant to the Energy Policy Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Rivers and Harbors Act and the Submerged Lands Act.
Supplemental Information:	The native coordinate system for this layer is WGS 1984 World Mercator (ESPG: 3395). Please note: all MarineCadastre.gov data served by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management and hosted through Esri REST services are in the WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere (EPSG: 3857) projection.

Description:

(1) ‘Master’ Database was downloaded from Western Carolina University Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines in Excel format. (2) These data were compared with the data from the online National Beach Nourishment Database (NBND): https://gim2.aptim.com/ASBPANationwideRenourishment/ (3) 2016-2018 data that were not contained in the WCU database were collected from the NBND (4) These data were then combined into one resulting point data Excel spreadsheet and imported into ArcGIS to create the resulting database
