Abstract:

A major concern at many tidal inlets around the United States is how to reduce maintenance dredging costs. This CETN uses East Pass, Florida, as an example of how historic dredging data and bathymetric surveys can be used to evaluate whether dredging can be reduced. The particular alternatives reviewed are realigning the navigation channel or reducing its dimensions.
