Potential impacts to the fish community from the beach nourishment project could occur through several processes. The placement of sand on the beach buries, at least temporarily, existing benthic habitat, which may reduce the availability of infauna to benthic feeders. The burial of the groins may reduce the value of these structures as foraging and shelter sites.
Additionally, the physical disturbance caused by dredging and
the pumping of sand onto the beach may also affect fish distribution patterns.
Elevated turbidity can negatively affect the physiology and feeding behavior of some fishes (reviewed in LaSalle et al. 1991, Wilber and Clarke submitted) and presumably could make areas of shoreline that are being nourished unsuitable for some surf zone inhabitants.
Duh! Pretty obvious isn't it?:bucktooth:
