Shoreline and nearshore data system (SANDS) is a coastal data capture, monitoring and analysis suite for shoreline managers, coastal engineers and environmental scientists.

It provides powerful tools where input data can be analysed to establish links between forcing and response. It also allows weather and shore condition data to be entered, stored, inspected and compared. By analysing means and trends of both climatic and beach profile data, trends in coastal response can be detected. It is also capable of storing, retrieving and analysing a wide range of environmental data, reports and records.

SANDS is developed by Halcrow. We can customise the software to meet specific user needs, if required.
