The term \u201cbeach profile\u201d refers to a cross-sectional trace of the beach perpendicular to the high-tide shoreline and extends from the backshore cliff or dune to the inner continental shelf or a location where waves and currents do not transport sediment to and from the beach.

Place the telescopic leveling rod at each break on the slope.
\u200bYour transect should run from the shoreline (mean low tide level) to a pre- determined location, such as a certain number of meters onshore or to the vegetation line. However, you may have to start your transect at a higher water line depending on the tide and water conditions.
Measure the beach width for each transect (in meters) from the beginning of the back barrier to the water's edge. This can be done using a measuring wheel, meter tape, or measurement app on your phone that utilizes its internal GPS.
Hard engineering options Type of defenceAdvantagesBuilding groynes - a wooden barrier built at right angles to the beach.Prevents the movement of beach material along the coast by longshore drift. Allows the build up of a beach. Beaches are a natural defence against erosion and an attraction for tourists.2 more rows

Methodology Decide on an appropriate distance to measure longshore drift over, for example 10 metres. Lay out tape measure close to water and mark start and finish points. Place your float into water in the breakwater zone at the start point. Observe and time the object's movement across the pre-set distance.
Measuring sediment size Out of all the pebbles at that bit of beach, 10 is still a very small sample! Use calipers or a ruler to measure the size of each pebble \u2013 you can measure the length of the longest side \u2013 The a-axis, or all three axes, a, b and c.
Beach reprofiling - Changing the profile or shape of the beach. It usually refers to the direct transfer of material from the lower to the upper beach. Dune regeneration - Action taken to build up dunes and increase vegetation to strengthen the dunes and prevent excessive coastal retreat.
There are two types of coastal management, hard engineering, which involves building structures to protect the coast. Or soft engineering, which works with nature, using natural materials, or allowing nature to take back areas.
