Description: Soft coastal defence consists of, inter alia, beach replenishment, replenishment of the dunes, foreshore replenishment (sand is conveyed underwater), re-profiling the beach, reinforcing the beach with nets, planting beach grass or osiers. Beach replenishment is the most often used method on the Belgian coast, and this has occurred regularly since 1968. This technique is a natural way to defend the coast. Normal coastal processes can occur and a more varied landscape can be created. Dredged sea sand is usually used for beach replenishment. When the sea sand is dredged into port channels or other possibly polluted areas, the quality of the sand must first be checked and if necessary undergo prior treatment when necessary. Use can also be made of sand deriving from other beaches. The dredged silt from the port of Blankenberge was dumped on ‘Bruggen en Wegen Zeebrugge Oost'. The dredged sand is directly reclaimed on the dry beach or ends up on the Blankenberge underwater beach. When replenishing the foreshore, the sand is not reclaimed but is mixed into the foreshore with specially equipped dredgers.
