 \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sand Motor is an innovative intervention to protect low-ly
 ing coastal zones from sea level rise impacts. It involved 21.5 million cu
 bic meters of sand extracted ten kilometers offshore and deposited along t
 he coast\, to form a hook-shaped peninsula of 128 ha\, including a dune la
 ke and a lagoon. This ‘mega-nourishment’ follows the Building with Nature 
 approach.\n\n\n\nThe amount of deposited sand acts as a buffer against sea
  level rise. The approach reduces the frequency of disturbances of local e
 cosystems caused by regular sand nourishment interventions\, while also pr
 oviding new areas for nature and new opportunity for recreational activiti
 es.\n\n\n\nSince the construction of the Sand Motor in 2011\, the sand has
  indeed spread along the coast\, with coastal accretion both to the south 
 and the north. The San Motor was designed to provide sand replenishment fo
 r the Delfland Coast for the next 20 years.\n\n\n\nREGISTER \n\n\n\nModera

 ce)\n\n\n\nPanelists:\n\n\n	Matthieu de Schippers (TU – Delft)\, Assistant 
 Professor\, Hydraulic engineering and geoscience\n	Alexander van Oudenhoven
  (Leiden University)\, Assistant Professor\, Ecology and ecosystem service

 stuarine policy and management\n	William Veatch (USACE)\, Hydrologist\, Cli
 mate preparedness planning and adaptation\n\n\n\n\nThis Innovations in Nat
 ure-Based Systems for Coastal Protection web panel series brings together 
 distinguished panels of experts to discuss projects that are at the forefr
 ont of nature-based coastal hazard reduction systems in the U.S. and aroun
 d the world. Scientists\, engineers\, and managers working on these projec
 ts will discuss successes and lessons learned\, including their planning a
 nd implementation and engagement with the community.\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by 
 the NSF-sponsored Coastlines and People (CoPe) Research Coordination Netwo
 rk\, all web panels occur noon-1:30 p.m. EST. Please register at the link 
 above. Contact Dr. Ming Li at mingli@umces.edu\, University of Maryland Ce
 nter for Environmental Science\, if you have any questions. \n\n\n\n\n\n
