Beach nourishment is one engineering alternative for combating coastal 

 erosion and for providing shore protection against storm-produced waves and 

 flooding. This study provides a summary and review of the following beach 

 nourishment topics: (a) Analyzing and characterizing sediments, (b) sampl- 

 ing beaches and borrow sites, (c) calculating composite grain-size distribu- 

 tions, and (d) use of existing beach-fill schemes. State-of-the-art 

 recommendations relating to these topics are provided at the conclusion of 

 this report.
