Overview

This text examines where beach sand comes from, how waves are formed and how they break and move sand down the coast, how ""works of man"" have blocked this movement and caused beach erosion, and what can be done to save the beaches for future generations of Americans. A three-part prescription for healthy beaches is proposed: ""backing off""; ""bypassing sand""; and ""beach nourishment"".
