Study Regarding Utilization of Dredged Materials to Construct an Offshore Bar.

Abstract

The following conclusions are presented: (1) It is feasible to construct an offshore bar with no special dredge plant or procedures; (2)Sediment movement from bar will be minimal; (3) It is expected that bar will induce some wave energy attenuation, thereby providing benefits to the shore zone; (4) Bar will not affect normal shore processes; (5) construction of bar represents a beneficial use of dredged material as compared to deposition in deep ocean waters.
