Beach monitoring project Sand Key Phase II Beach nourishment program (North Redington Beach and Redington Shores) Post-Nourishment Report Part II Offshore Profiles and Wave Data

This study presents the third post-nourishment survey (January 1989) results forthe Sand Key Phase II beach nourishment project carried out in June, 1988. Themonitoring program to this beach nourishment project is a joint effort betweenthe University of South Florida and University of Florida. The field surveysinclude a total of 26 profiles, encompassing approximately 3 miles of shorelineextending from DNR R-96 to R-1ll. The total calculated volume loss of sand inthe nourished segment (from R-99G to R-107) between the July 88 and January 89surveys is 51,113 cubic yards, which is a loss about 9.7 percent of 529,150 cubicyards actually placed in the nourishment project. The total loss of sand computedin the entire survey area is 26,796 cubic yards, which is only 5.1 percent of thesand placed in the nourishment project. It is stressed that a part of these netvolume reductions is due to the background erosion and not due to spreading lossesinduced by the nourishment project. (PDF contains 168 pages.)
