The highly successful cooperative agreement program
eventually included a total of 14 states and identified hundreds of millions
of cubic yards of sand deemed suitable for beach nourishment. A number of
beach nourishment projects completed in Maryland, Virginia, and Florida used
sand evaluated by the cooperative program including several done on an
emergency basis to prevent imminent breaching. The 14 states involved in the
cooperative program were: Alabama, Maine, North Carolina, California,
Maryland, South Carolina, Delaware, Massachusetts, Texas, Florida, New
Hampshire, Virginia, Louisiana, and New Jersey.
