Figure 8-g illustrates a hypothetical case in which a combination of thesemechanisms leads to the loss of a beach. Before construction of the bulkhead, aretreating sandy cliff feeds sand to the beach. As a result of this loss of sedimentsupply, the beach begins to retreat. The water immediately in front of thebulkhead becomes deeper and the waves become larger. Reflections from thebulkhead exacerbate this increase in wave energy, and the rate of beach erosionincreases further.Figure 8-g: Potential Beach Erosion Scenarios Associated with ShorezoneProtective StructuresCHAPTER 8: Shorezone Protective Structures and <strong>BMP</strong>sTRPA <strong>BMP</strong> Handbook8.2 Bulkheads and Lake Walls 2012Page 8-24
