Abstract:

The Engineering With Nature EWN program explores the partnering of engineering with naturally occurring physical processes to achieve a desired benefit. This technical note TN documents the application of EWN practices as applied to the strategic placement of a nearshore berm at Fort Myers Beach, FL, to accommodate sediments that exceed regulatory limits for the percentage of fine material that can be used for beach placement yet still allowing the dredged materials to be used to benefit the nearshore region.
