The Sand Engine

The Sand Engine is an innovative approach to coastal management that involves depositing a large amount of sand along the shoreline. This creates a new, gradually evolving sandbank that naturally spreads and nourishes the nearby beaches and dunes over time. It helps protect the coast from erosion, supports local ecosystems, and reduces the need for frequent, costly interventions. By working with natural processes rather than resisting them, the Sand Engine promotes a more sustainable and resilient coastline, benefiting both the environment and local communities.
