USACE Sand Availability and Needs Determination (SAND)

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)

The Sand Availability and Needs Determination (SAND) study quantifies sand needs and available sand resources for all current beach nourishment projects, both federal and non-federal, in the South Atlantic Division (SAD) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for the next 50 years. This site links to the SAND 2020 summary report (must use web archive to view), a SAND dashboard, SAND web app, and a dredged material management area geodatabase all created as a part of the broader SAND study.
