U.S. Army Corps of Engineers beach renourishment operations underway along Myrtle Beach, S.C., Sept. 22, 2018, following Hurricane Florence. These operations are designed to help rehabilitate shorelines to mitigate the risk of storm-related damage to coastal communities and infrastructure by using hopper dredge vessels to pump sand, via a ship-to-shore pipeline system, from off-shore areas to the beach. This project was part of rehabilitation efforts from previous hurricanes, but was put on hold due to Florence. Work has since resumed now that dredging craft, moved to safe harbor during the hurricane, have returned to continue operations.
