Lists priority issues for Galveston.Item Activities to Reduce Erosion Losses Along the Texas Gulf Coast(1993-06) U.S. Army Engineer District, GalvestonThe State of Texas continues to actively pursue the development of a comprehensive coastal management plan for the State's public lands. Some of the major issues which are being addressed in this plan are coastal erosion, beach access, and wetland loss. The purpose of this report has been to describe types of Federal assistance available for erosion control projects and to document the various studies and activities that the Corps of Engineers has recently been involved in for addressing erosion problems along the Texas coast. This report is intended to provide decision-makes background information necessary to prioritize erosion threats on the coast and develop a conceptual management plan for short and long term coastal erosion control projects for the Texas Coastal Management Program.Item Adapting to Climate Change. Maintaining Ecosystem Services for Human Well-being in the Verde Island Passage, Philippines(Conservation International, 2010) Boquiren, R.; Di Carlo, G.; Quibilan, M.C.The 100 km long Verde Island Passage in the northern Philippines is located within the globally significant Coral Triangle, an area considered the center of the world’s marine biodiversity, and as such, has a wealth of coastal marine resources, including highly diverse coral reefs, mangrove forests, and seagrass meadows. The Verde Island Passage is a significant conservation corridor contained in the island chain.Item Adelaide's Living Beaches(Government of South Australia, 2005-12) Government of South Australia Department for Environment and HeritageItem Annual Update of the Corps of Engineers Beach Projects in Florida(1991-09-12) Salt, Terrence C.Item An Assessment of The Nation's Shoreline Change: A Review of the 1971 National Shoreline Study(U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2004-01) Stauble, Donald K.Item Beach erosion and federal funding(venturariver.org, 2013-12-20) Wilborn, R.Item Beach Erosion Mitigation and Sediment Management Alternatives at Wallops Island, VA(U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2006-09) Morang, Andrew; Williams, Greggory G.; Swean, Jerry W.The Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), is located on the eastern shore of Virginia facing the Atlantic Ocean. The island has experienced erosion throughout the six decades that NASA has occupied the site. Near the south part of the island, at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) spaceport, shoreline retreat from 1857 to the present averaged about 3.7 m/year. Further south, adjacent to Assawoman Inlet, retreat exceeded 5 m/year. Since the early 1990s, part of the island has been protected with a stone rubblemound seawall, a replacement for an older wood wall that deteriorated. Although the seawall has temporarily fixed the shoreline position, the structure is being undermined because there is little or no protective sand beach remaining and storm waves break directly on the rocks. The south end of the island is currently unprotected except for a low revetment around the MARS launch pad. As a result, NASA officials are highly concerned that launch pads, infrastructure, and test and training facilities belonging to NASA, the U.S. Navy, and the (MARS) spaceport, valued at over $800 million, are increasingly vulnerable to damage from storm waves and that the foundations of structures and the Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle (UAV) runway may be undermined as the beach continues to erode. ERDC and U.S. Army Engineer District, Norfolk, have developed a shore protection plan to protect Wallops Island from ongoing beach erosion and storm wave damage incurred during normal coastal storms and northeasters. The key aspect of the plan is that the beach will have to be rebuilt with a sand fill along the entire island. The ultimate purpose will be to move the zone of wave breaking well away from the vulnerable infrastructure. This plan is not intended to protect against inundation and other impacts during major hurricanes and exceptional northeasters, when water levels can rise several meters. The more comprehensive of two alternatives includes beach fill and the construction of sand-retention structures such as detached breakwaters. Despite the higher initial costs, structures will probably reduce life-cycle costs because of reduced requirements for renourishment volumes.Item Beach Maintenance Procedures(South Padre Island, 2015) South Padre IslandItem Beach Management Plan For Maui(Sea Grant Hawaii, 1997-12) University of Hawaii Sea Grant Extension Service; County of Maui Planning DepartmentItem Beach management plans for mixed beaches: Review and ways forward(2015) Dornbusch, Uwe; Bradbury, Andy; Curtis, Bryan; Lane, GaryItem Beach Management Strategies(University of Ulster, 2015) McKenna, Dr John; Cooper, Andrew; Jackson, DerekItem Beach Management Strategy(Cornwall Council, 2011-03-31) Ortiz, James; David, CharlieItem Beach nourishment for hurricane protection: North Carolina project performance in hurricanes Dennis and Floyd(American Shore and Beach Preservation Association, 2004-08) Rogers, Spencer M.
