BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br />Summary: <br />Bathymetric surveying, coastal engineering <br />analysis, wave modeling, sediment transport <br />modeling, marine resource mapping, <br />breakwater and beach design, permitting <br />feasibility, funding opportunities. <br /> <br />Relevance: <br /> The Project demonstrates knowledge of <br />Florida beach design, permitting <br />constraints and funding. <br /> <br /> The Project demonstrates the ability to <br />conduct complex coastal <br />engineering analyses utilizing <br />state of the art numerical <br />modeling software as well as <br />preparing beach and breakwater <br />design . <br /> <br /> The Project demonstrates innovative <br />design to meet client objectives and <br />budget, while minimizing <br />environmental impacts. <br /> <br />Project Schedule/ Actual Schedule: <br />On schedule. <br /> <br />Scope: Engineer and Marine Scientist <br /> <br />Size: 5,000 feet of shoreline <br />Construction Cost: $1M (est.) <br />Description: <br />Coco Plum Beach is located along the southeast coast of Marathon in the Florida Keys. The beach <br />has historically experienced significant erosion requiring costly beach fill projects along with the <br />nuisance of construction and periods with limited beach use area. Extensive beds of seagrass are <br />located throughout the area. Cummins Cederberg was retained to conduct an erosion study and <br />prepare a beach design, involving coastal structures to provide long term stability. As part of the <br />erosion study, a detailed statistical analysis of offshore wave data was conducted along with a <br />wave propagations study. Sediment transport and potential erosion are typically governed by the <br />wave conditions. Utilizing the advanced MIKE21 wave model, the wave transformation from <br />offshore to nearshore was analyzed. The detailed wave modelling allowed for detailed review and <br />comparison of the wave climate along the beach as well as assessing sediment transport rates. <br /> <br />Based on the results of the wave modeling and sediment transport study, 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 <br />this area, while still providing sandy beach access, were developed. Understanding the underlying <br />coastal processes allowed for an efficient design that works with the natural processes, thus <br />reducing long term maintenance typically associated with projects working against nature. <br /> <br /> <br />25.
