FAVOURABLE SEDIMENT STATUS
WINTER (stormy period) – Protecting infrastructures: Volume of sediment required to generate a beach wider than the one to be eroded by storms (Tr to be selected ).
SUMMER (calm period) – Recreational carrying capacity: SUMMER (calm period) – Recreational carrying capacity: Volume of sediment required to generate a beach wide enough to accomodate users (~ 30 m ).

FAVOURABLE SEDIMENT STATUS
WINTER (stormy period) – Protecting infrastructures: Volume of sediment “properly” distributed along the beach in such a way that the beach is wider than the reach associated to storm impacts (Tr to be selected ).
SUMMER (calm period) – Recreational carrying capacity: Volume of sediment “properly” distributed along the beach in such a way that the beach is wider than a minimumin such a way that the beach is wider than a minimum recreational width (~ 30 m ).
