Monitoring the impacts of sand nourishment on surf amenity: Final Report
2023
Abstract
Recreational use of beaches and coastal environments has long been recognized as an important activity for the health, social and economic benefits to direct participants and the broader population.
As pressure from competing coastal uses mounts, together with the threats from climate change, a major challenge for managers of the coast is to understand and compare benefits associated with multiple activities.
Sand nourishment at Maroochydore Beach was trialled with the aim to protect the area from the effects of severe weather.
The aim of the proposed research project was to assess the impacts of the nearshore sand nourishment on surf amenity at Maroochydore Beach using a machine learning wave peel tracking (WPT) algorithm.
