Resumo: | Coastal communities cannot depend on funding from the state or federal government to maintain high-quality beaches that benefit the public and attract tourist revenues.  This article investigates the feasibility and efficiency of beach improvement projects at two Georgia barrier islands through the alternative funding mechanisms of general-revenue financing and user fees.  Benefits are calculated from observable sources.  The analyses presented support beach improvement as an effective policy on both islands under all scenarios considered.
