Know how to find and evaluate beach fill sources that actually work.

This practical guide introduces the equipment, methods, and planning needed for borrow source exploration. It frames how coastal geologic data supports beach nourishment projects and explains the flow from field data collection to design decisions. The book focuses on current technologies and real‑world procedures used to locate suitable sand resources and assess their suitability for engineering projects.

How to design and flexibly implement borrow source exploration programs, including tracklines, core site choices, scheduling, and cost estimates.
Geophysical and sampling methods used in coastal surveys, such as fathometers, side-scan sonar, seismic profilers, grab and dredge sampling, and vibro cores.
Key equipment and signal processing tools, like hydrophones, energy sources, recorders, and noise‑reduction techniques to improve data quality.
Best practices for planning, data interpretation, and applying results to the planning and design phases of coastal projects.

Ideal for engineers, field technicians, and project teams involved in coastal nourishment and beach restoration.
