The use of submarine quarries is one of the most avant-garde techniques for obtaining material adapted to beach nourishment. During two projects (Interreg IIIb and IIIc - "Beachmed" 2002-04 and "Beachmed-e" 2005-08) financed by the European Union, the Ligurian Region and the University of Genoa, the Dipartimento per lo Studio del Territorio e delle sue Risorse (Dip.Te.Ris.) made several seismostratigraphic and sedimentological studies of transgressive submarine sedimentary bodies on the continental shelf, with high-resolution intruments, in search of relic sedimentary deposits related to various transgressive-regressive cycles that could be used for local beach nourishment programmes.

Abstract
The use of submarine quarries is one of the most avant-garde techniques for obtaining material adapted to beach nourishment. During two projects (Interreg IIIb and IIIc - "Beachmed" 2002-04 and "Beachmed-e" 2005-08) financed by the European Union, the Ligurian Region and the University of Genoa, the Dipartimento per lo Studio del Territorio e delle sue Risorse (Dip.Te.Ris.) made several seismostratigraphic and sedimentological studies of transgressive submarine sedimentary bodies on the continental shelf, with high-resolution intruments, in search of relic sedimentary deposits related to various transgressive-regressive cycles that could be used for local beach nourishment programmes.
