NotesThis is the third in 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. “Monitoring of beach profiles indicated that as of December 2013, the 2011 Dynamic Revetment Project (DRP) has successfully stabilized the shoreline in the project area, while rapid erosion has continued in the adjacent Reference beach area. Erosion in the unprotected Reference area in the period 2009-2013 has been as great as 9.6 m (31.5 ft).” (from the Abstract) Aerial photograph, color photographs.
