Brief description of project and relevance to this contract (Include scope, size, and cost) <br /> <br />Coco Plum Beach is located along the southeast <br />coast of Marathon in the Florida Keys. The beach is <br />one of few beaches in the Florida Keys and popular <br />among residents and tourists. However, the beach <br />has historically experienced significant erosion <br />requiring costly beach fill projects, along with the <br />nuisance of construction, and periods with limited <br />beach use area. The beach is exposed to the <br />Atlantic Ocean but is fronted by extensive shallow <br />seagrass habitat, reducing direct exposure to ocean <br />waves. <br /> <br />Cummins Cederberg was retained to conduct an erosion study, prepare a beach design involving <br />coastal structures to provide long term stability, as well as conduct a benthic survey to quantity <br />potential impacts to the nearshore seagrass habitat. As part of the erosion study, a detailed statistical <br />analysis of offshore wave data was conducted along with a wave propagations study. Sediment <br />transport and potential erosion are typically governed by the wave conditions. <br /> <br />Utilizing the advanced MIKE21 wave model, the wave transformation from offshore to nearshore was <br />analyzed. The detailed wave modelling allowed for detailed review and comparison of the wave climate <br />along the beach as well as assessing sediment transport rates. <br /> <br />Based on the results of the wave modeling and sediment transport assessment the underlying coastal <br />processes of the erosion trends were documented and utilized in the beach and coastal structure <br />design process. The area triggering the beach erosion was identified and solutions for stabilizing this <br />area, while still providing sandy beach access were developed. Understanding the underlying coastal <br />processes allowed for an efficient design that works with the natural processes, thus reducing long term <br />maintenance typically associated with projects working against nature. <br /> <br />Active contract: No <br />Contract amount: $114,580 <br /> <br />25.
