Integrated Photogrammetric and Geophysical Monitoring of Shoreline Instability in Littoral Cells in the Pacific Northwest, USA
Several factors have recently focused on the attention of government agencies, academic researchers, and the general public on coastal erosion and beach resource management in the Pacific...

Sediment Budget at Oceanside, California, Calculated Using a Calibrated Shoreline Change Model
A quantitative sediment budget analysis was made for the shoreline segment extending from 4 miles north to 4 miles south of Oceanside Harbor using a calibrated shoreline change model....

Coastal Process Study on Beacon Shoreline
A sediment budget was developed for the Santa Barbara and Ventura County shoreline in Southern California as part of an overall coastal planning effort. The budget was analyzed primarily...

Topographic Responses to the Construction of Large Port Structures on Oarai Coast
Large offshore breakwater and groins have been constructed at Oarai Port, Japan. As a result, the coast experienced significant topographic changes. In this paper, the responses of the...

Dredging & Nourishment Bulk Determination by Sediment Budget
'Ria' is the Spanish name for a sea flooded valley, whatever its origin and evolution. This paper discusses a project involving the regeneration and protection...

Recent Evolution and Potential Causal Mechanisms of Cedar Island, Virginia, 1852-1986
Shoreline mapping was used to reconstruct the historical shoreline evolution of Cedar Island, Virginia in an effort to clarify the debate on barrier island response to sea level rise --...

Environmental Auditing as a Compliance Tool
This paper will look at how a compliance audit can be used as an effective compliance tool and discuss the key elements of a successful environmental audit program. An environmental audit...

Net and Hydroacoustic Monitoring of Fish Passage
In 1986 EPRI published a review of available fish protection technologies for use at hydroelectric facilities. One major conclusion of that study was that fish protection systems were...

Dewatering Using a Floating Bulkhead Proves Flexible, Reusable and Cost Effective
Going beyond a traditional bulkhead dropped in place with a barge crane or crane hoist, a steel floating bulkhead was conceived to dewater powerplant intakes, gated spillway bays or outlet...

Design of Groins on the Middle Rio Grande
The Albuquerque Projects Office of the Bureau of Reclamation wanted to use groins in place of revetments at two sites on the Rio Grande. The Bureau of Reclamation has limited experience...

Seawater Delivery for Use in Aquaculture Development
Seawater is used extensively in industrial and aquacultural developments world wide, and aquaculture in particular requires large quantities of seawater. Development and design of facilities...

Fall Protection & Debris Containment During Construction
The purpose of this paper is to review the current practices in the United States for both fall protection and debris protection during high rise construction. A performance comparison...

Structural Investigation of Marina Del Rey Seawall
The Marina del Rey Seawall was constructed by various contractors between 1959 and 1961. It is composed of 660 panels totaling 39,600 linear feet. The seawall configuration is a type normally...

Case History of the Point Roberts Marina
This paper presents a fifteen year history of the design performance of the Point Roberts Marina. The 1,000 berth small craft harbor is located on the Strait of Georgia, immediately north...

Innovative Breakwater Designs on the Great Lakes
Extensive investigations have recently been undertaken to support the development of rubblemound breakwater designs for new marinas at Kenosha and Sheboygan, WI, both located on the west...

Reef Breakwater Design for Lake Michigan Marina
An innovative breakwater concept consisting of a conventional breakwater and a submerged-reef breakwater operating in tandem has been designed for the southern end of Lake Michigan. The...

Environmental Wave Barriers for Small Craft Harbors
This paper describes the history and development of the environmental wave barrier and the current planning and design being undertaken for a major expansion of the small boat harbor at...

Capital Area Yacht Centre
The paper describes the background to the development of the first recreational boat harbour in Oman and examines aspects of an engineering feasibility study that was undertaken....

Eilat?A Paradise of Coast and Sealife
This paper describes the development of the existing lagoon in Eilat, Israel, into a modern marina and the dredging of two new lagoons. The existing lagoon was dredged and developed some...

Application of a Numerical Model to Develop Marina Concepts
A numerical model is presented to evaluate wave conditions in a marina basin for development and analysis of marina concepts. This model is based on the boundary integral equation method...
