| Notes | This is the first of a series of five annual reports concerning control of erosion along Yaquina Bay next to the Hatfield Marine Science Center. Parts of the shoreline were stabilized in 2007 and 2011. Before more dynamic revetments will be permitted, a five-year study of nearby unmodified shorelines is required. “A Dynamic Revetment (gravel beach) was installed in November, 2011 on the shoreline along the northeastern edge of the HMSC to mitigate erosion that threatened HMSC critical infrastructure. Shoreline topographic and biological monitoring was initiated before and continued after the project completion. Monitoring of beach profiles along the project area showed that a Dynamic Revetment installed in 2007 had been successful in stabilizing further retreat of the beach. As of January 2012, the2011 project also appears to have stabilized the shoreline, while rapid erosion has continued in the adjacent Reference beach area. “ (from the Abstract) The report includes aerial photographs, charts and color photographs. |
