Regional Sediment Management (RSM) Assessment of Longboat Pass, Manatee County, FL

Abstract

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes the history of ebb shoal morphology at Longboat Pass, Manatee County, FL, based on a review of the history and the recent inlet management studies for proposed navigational dredging of the Pass. The study area is located on the southwest Gulf of Mexico coast of Florida (Figure 1). The goals of the study were to determine the best channel configuration for navigation and most appropriate beneficial use of dredged sediments (the primary criteria used to evaluate channel alternatives).
