The report discusses tests done to see if seagoing hopper dredges can be used to gather materials from the ocean and bring them to eroded beaches. Tests were done in New Jersey, Florida, and Virginia. The focus was on the dredging equipment's abilities and how the material was delivered to the beaches. The tests showed that improvements in dredging equipment make it possible to use seagoing hopper dredges for this purpose. The report suggests further testing of different systems for delivering dredged material to beaches, like mooring buoys and discharge pipelines. It also recommends a national study on the availability of materials in the ocean for beach nourishment.
