National Beach Nourishment Database

August 26, 2025Tool ShowcaseAnnie Mercer

National Beach Nourishment Database

American Shore and Beach Preservation Association

Launch Tool

Overview

The ASBPA National Beach Nourishment Database provides National-scale statistics on U.S. communities beach nourishment efforts over the last century (Elko et al. 2021). The database has been compiled over the last two decades and is updated annually by ASBPA membership. The goal of the database is to provide the public and ASBPA members with detailed information on U.S. nourishment projects at the national, state, and project level including: the community name, events, dates, volume, cost, and length.

Features

  • Nationwide statistics for communities served, number of events, total cost, total volume, and known length.
  • Filters for state and county totals.
  • Detailed accounting of USACE totals, non-USACE totals, and nearshore placements.
  • Shares state by state sediment regulations for placement.
