As far as other analogous projects, I would submit that none are exactly similar to each other. All are unique due to many factors some of which are; Socio economic, level of development, geographic and hydraulic conditions that differ between each. However, with that said the Corps has completed many beach fill projects along Atlantic Ocean Barrier Islands, a few are: (Miami Beach & Canaveral Beach)- Fla; Wrightsville Beach, NC; Ocean City, MD; (Fenwick Island and Dewey Beach) - Delaware; ( Cape May, Stone Harbor, Avalon, Ocean City, Ventnor, Atlantic City, Brigantine) - New Jersey; ( Coney Island, Westhampton Beach) - NY, To name a few off the top of my head.
