Army Corps of Engineers districts revitalize Ocean City inlet
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District’s, Hopper Dredge MURDEN places material during beach replenishment procedures as part of 24/7 dredge operations near an inlet in Ocean City, Md., Sept. 20, 2021. Beach Replenishment is a soft armoring technique that involves pumping sand onto an eroding shoreline to widen the existing beach. While this does not prevent erosion, it can reduce storm damage to coastal development and infrastructure. (U.S. Army photo by Greg Nash)
