Oceanside Harbor Experimental Sand Bypass System Monitoring Program - Littoral Zone Sediments.
Abstract
This report presents baseline data, on the sediments collected as a part of the monitoring program for the Experimental Oceanside Sand Bypass Project. In addition to the baseline data, this report presents an interpretation of the sediment transport conditions within the study area's littoral zone from Santa Margarita River to Buena Vista Lagoon, San Diego County, California. The baseline data and the interpretation of sediment transport will be used to compare conditions of sediment transport after the sand bypass system is in operation. The baseline data consist of recent aerial photography of the littoral zone, and sedimentological data (sediment texture, and mineralogy). The aerial photography will be used to identify patterns of sedimentation in the littoral zone. Based on the data available, a preliminary interpretation will be presented that will identify, as much as possible, the source areas, path of travel, and mechanism of transport of the sediment with the area's littoral zone. When appropriate data become available from Task IF, River Sediment Discharge, and Task IG, Bluff Derived Sediments, Coast of California Storm and Tidal Waves Study, a final interpretation will be made to identify the source areas, path of travel, and mechanism of transport for littoral zone material found in the study area.
