The concept of the moving gravel body (MGB) method, in which topographic changes are controlled by beach nourishment using gravel, was introduced, using the contour-line-change model considering changes in grain size. The model was applied to the Fuji coast, assuming that coarse materials were nourished on a straight coast wherein a predominant longshore sand transport develops. The grain size that is effective for the recovery and maintenance of the shoreline and that does not cause further downcoast erosion was d, which is 5-10 times larger than that of the original sand, d0.

The Dawu fishing port breakwater has been extending since 1956 in Taitung City located in the southeast part of Taiwan, obstructing southward longshore sand transport. Because of the blockage of longshore sand transport at this fishing port, severe downcoast erosion occurred, resulting in the wave overtopping damage to Route No. 9 extending along the coastline, and urgent measures were required to enhance the safety of the route. As measures, beach nourishment using coarse materials including gravel produced from the construction of a road tunnel was planned, as well as the construction of groins on the downcoast. We first analyzed beach changes around this fishing port using past aerial photographs and bathymetric survey data, and beach changes were reproduced using the contour-line-change model considering changes in grain size. Then, the effect of measures was investigated using the model.
