U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District’s, Hopper Dredge MURDEN pumps slurry prior to beach replenishment efforts during 24/7 dredge operations in an inlet near Ocean City, Md., Sept. 20, 2021. Ocean City beaches are routinely replenished every four years with periodic emergency projects as needed following storms and other natural events. Beach replenishment in the area has prevented nearly $920 million in damages since its completion in the 1990s. (U.S. Army photo by Greg Nash)
