Beach Replenishment

How do beaches form? how do is beach sand created and where is it found? and what ecosystems rely on beaches to survive?

During this class we will learn about and answer the above questions and hopefully many more, we will be starting off with the basics: what is beach sand and how do we "lose" it.

This website has a ton of useful information and generally matches the current rough draft, ask Professor if this is an okay project based on the current documentation/websites out there.

Overview of the replenishment project in California during 2012

Both sites provide information on the formation of beaches though it is limited as it mainly covers the creation of the sand grains rather than the movement of the material to a beach/to form a beach.
