Video reveals secrets of artificial beach nourishment project success in China
A study monitored a new artificial beach project in China using video and surveys. They found that video analysis can measure wave overtopping and nourishment progress. After two months, most sand stayed on the beach, with erosion moving sand to the north. The south beach was affected by different processes due to a breakwater. They recommend studying how waves move sand onshore and how the beach near the breakwater will change in the future. Combining video and traditional monitoring can help understand beach nourishment projects better.
