The correct answers regarding the purpose of beach nourishment are:

1. **to replenish sand on a beach**
2. **to mitigate beach erosion for a period of time**

Beach nourishment is primarily used to add sand to eroded beaches to restore their width and height, thereby providing protection against storm surges and erosion while maintaining the beach's recreational appeal. It does not stop all erosion from occurring and is not intended to help ocean life directly.
