Sand
Key, Florida
Coastal Systems International, Inc. as a subconsultant
to Burns and McDonnell, provided first and second year
project performance monitoring services for the Sand Key
1998/1999 Pinellas County Beach Erosion Control Project.
Pre and post construction monitoring surveys consisting
of hydrographic and aerial photographic surveys of the
entire 13.9 mile Sand Key shoreline, and the project borrow
area were analyzed. Changes in shoreline position and
fill volume provided a qualitative assessment of the project
performance. Based  upon
these changes a comparison of predicted versus actual
performance was performed. In addition, erosion rates,
longshore/cross-shore sand movement, and the influence
of nearshore structures, bathymetry, and inlets on the
project's performance and expected future shoreline response
was described.
