	note = {The dune field at South Beach State Park has been undergoing changes in recent years that have led to increased sand deposition in the Yaquina River channel.  The 1997-1998 El Ni{\~n}o caused three sand corridors to develop, through which sand is deposited into the ocean and brought into the inlet.  Change accelerated after the 2009-2010 El Ni{\~n}o. Sand fields have expanded and dunes have grown.  The result is that the volume of sand blown into the navigation channel has increased, and shoaling has grown by 30\% since 2011.  In response, the Army Corps of Engineers is looking into putting sand fences into the dune fields at South Beach.

Through an extensive analysis of alternatives to make the best use of available funds, the selected alternative was to construct a temporary cofferdam and remove the western ship, stabilize the eastern ship with anchors and ballast, and construct a new 800-ft-long, 40-ft-wide dock with an anchored bulkhead wall.{\textquotedblright}  (from the Abstract) Engineering challenges and solutions are discussed.
