SUMMARY: Myrtle Beach is undertaking a beach renourishment project to combat erosion and elevating shorelines, funded by a $72 million contract. This initiative, led by the Army Corps of Engineers, aims to bring sand back to the Grand Strand beaches in response to storms. Dr. Paul Gaye from Coastal Carolina University highlights that while renourishment is a temporary fix, it does not address the rising sea levels exacerbating coastal flooding. As environmental changes accelerate, he suggests it may be time to consider long-term strategies beyond sand replenishment. The project is set to start this spring and will last approximately 18 months.

Throughout the spring, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company will renourish the Grand Strand beaches under a $72 million contract from the United States Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District.

Some experts are questioning how long renourishment (adding sand to the beaches to repair damages after large storms) will be an effective method.
