The island has experienced erosion throughout the six decades that NASA has occupied the site. Near the south part of the island, at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) spaceport, shoreline retreat from 1857 to the present averaged about 3.7 m/year. Further south, adjacent to Assawoman Inlet, retreat exceeded 5 m/year. Since the early 1990s, part of the island has been protected with a stone rubblemound seawall, a replacement for an older wood wall that deteriorated. Although the seawall has temporarily fixed the shoreline position, the structure is being undermined because there is little or no protective sand beach remaining and storm waves break directly on the rocks. The south end of the island is currently unprotected except for a low revetment around the MARS launch pad. As a result, NASA officials are highly concerned that launch pads, infrastructure, and test and training facilities belonging to NASA, the U.S. Navy, and the (MARS) spaceport, valued at over $800 million, are increasingly vulnerable to damage from storm waves and that the foundations of structures and the Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle (UAV) runway may be undermined as the beach continues to erode. ERDC and U.S. Army Engineer District, Norfolk, have developed a shore protection plan to protect Wallops Island from ongoing beach erosion and storm wave damage incurred during normal coastal storms and northeasters. The key aspect of the plan is that the beach will have to be rebuilt with a sand fill along the entire island. The ultimate purpose will be to move the zone of wave breaking well away from the vulnerable infrastructure. This plan is not intended to protect against inundation and other impacts during major hurricanes and exceptional northeasters, when water levels can rise several meters. The more comprehensive of two alternatives includes beach fill and the construction of sand-retention structures such as detached breakwaters. Despite the higher initial costs, structures will probably reduce life-cycle costs because of reduced requirements for renourishment volumes.Item Beach Maintenance Procedures(South Padre Island, 2015) South Padre IslandItem Beach Management Plan 2011-2016(City of Joondalup, 2011) City of JoondalupItem Beach Management Plan For Maui(Sea Grant Hawaii, 1997-12) University of Hawaii Sea Grant Extension Service; County of Maui Planning DepartmentItem Beach management plans for mixed beaches: Review and ways forward(2015) Dornbusch, Uwe; Bradbury, Andy; Curtis, Bryan; Lane, GaryItem Beach Management Strategies(University of Ulster, 2015) McKenna, Dr John; Cooper, Andrew; Jackson, DerekItem Beach Nourishment(2007-03) Haney, Rebecca; Kouloheras, Liz; Malkoski, Vin; Mahala, Jim; Unger, YvonneItem Beach Nourishment For Hurricane Protection: North Carolina Project Performance in Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd(NOAA, 2000-08-07) Spencer M.

In order to preserve our beach, an infusion of sand is needed along some of the coast to ensure the sandy shoreline is wide enough for everyone – visitors and residents alike – to play and relax in the surf and sun.Item Beaches and Bluffs of Puget Sound(Coastal Geologic Services, Inc, 2007) Johannessen, Jim; MacLennan, AndreaItem Belize Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan 2016(Belize Coastal Zone Management Authority and Institute, 2016) Coastal Zone Management Authority and Institute (CZMAI)Item Bras d’Or Lakes Coastal Development Guidance(Bras d'Or Lakes Collaborative Environmental Planning Initiative, 2015)The Bras d'Or Lakes region of Nova Scotia is subject to some of the same erosional problems that the ocean boundary coast lines face.
