Rock is put in the sea, then moved out of the sea, into a pile. The pile is moved into the sea again,(or disappears altogether) and placed in another location in a pile. Then fingers of rock are extended into the sea, but they're moved again and then put back in the sea. Repeat. Have I got the system right?
Almost! The rock came in via a large barge from Larvik in Norway. This was then moored off the coast of Hayling Island where some of the rock was unloaded on to a smaller barge during each tide cycle. The smaller barge was then floated on to Eastoke beach at high tide. From here it was unloaded in to the sea using machinery that worked on the small barge. At low tide an excavator would track down to the stockpile of rock and load it in to dump trucks. The truck then moved the rock to the necessary location where it was used within the final works. What you are seeing in this video is the tide running over the rock revetment and rock groynes, all of which were placed in a designed location to raise the defence levels and trap sediment to maintain beach levels.
Hey @Army Corps of Engineers and @State of New Jersey instead of destroying marine habitat for beach replenishment projects that only last a couple years before washing away and clogging our inlets with sand. Can we just do this like many of us have been saying for years? This will last, getting the fill doesn't destroy complex marine ecosystems that support species so threatened that fishing for them has been greatly limited if not suspended, and it won't cause our inlets to shoal up constantly...

What is the white sheet initially layed below the boulders?
We need too save all affected coastal areas on all our coasts..

And where is the rock appearing from ?
SuperBignick22 probably a nearby quarry
