Description
Description | The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Charleston District, completed two dredging and sand placement efforts on the Isle of Palms. Approximately 700,000 cubic yards of beach-quality sand were relocated to strengthen and sustain the island’s coastal system, enhancing shoreline resilience and navigation safety along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW). The project strategically placed sand in the intertidal zone to allow natural wave and tidal action to distribute it along the beach profile, providing multiple benefits including navigation improvement and environmental enhancement. |
