Engineering With Nature® (EWN®) Jekyll Island “Sand Motor”

Project Information

This project will develop and evaluate key design and decision criteria to develop an actionable, innovative, and shovel ready EWN® “sand motor” (feeder beach) project, that passively distributes sediment across a wide section of retreating shoreline. The objective of the sand motor is to reduce erosion, increase coastal habitat, and provide public safety benefits.
