Wave Attenuation on Muddy Bottoms Offshore Cassino Beach

Abstract

Long Term Research Goals: To improve the understanding of the dynamics of shoaling waves and sediment transport in the coastal zone in areas with presence of significant cohesive sediment deposits. Project Objectives and Background: 1) To assess the mud deposit formation 2) To assess the wave damping over the mud deposit when compared with the wave dissipation over a sandy bottom. 3) To observe the dynamics of the off shore mud deposits, concerning its shoreward limit.
