Abstract: |
This thesis examines the historical shoreline response to inlet modifications and sea
level rise. Inlet modifications are considered to be the geographic stabilization and training
(through the use of structures) of natural inlets and the creation and further modification of
artificial inlets. Shoreline response to natural and artificial processes must be understood in
order to predict the performance of the coastline. The tendency for creating and modifying
inlets increases as industry and population growth demands. Sea level rise is a natural process
which cannot be controlled at this time. Current theoretical approaches to predicting
shoreline response indicate that sea level rise and inlet modifications can cause substantial
shoreline impact. Florida, with roughly a century of shoreline position and relative sea level
data, provides a basis for examining past trends and comparing them with theory.
The shoreline of Florida was found to be accreting with the greatest accretion along
the east coast. Shoreline responses within the boundaries of the erosional influence of inlets
due to their creation and/or modification were examined for 19 inlets around the coast of
Florida. The differences in the shoreline response before and after the initial modification of
each inlet show the erosional strain that inlets apply on the nearby shoreline. The effect on
shoreline response due to the human intervention (unnatural processes) of modifying inlets
was isolated and examined. The shoreline response due to this "human intervention" was erosional, thereby showing the negative impact that modified inlets have on shorelines. This
induced erosion is responsible for the loss of roughly 21.6 million cubic yards of sand from the
shoreline that is within the erosional influence of Florida's east coast inlets. Combining the
shoreline changes due only to natural processes with sea level rise data allows for comparison
with the commonly accepted Bruun Rule for shoreline response as a result of a changing
sea level. This comparison and the effects of including a lag time between a rise in sea level
and a change in shoreline along the east coast of Florida during the last century show no
agreement with the Bruun Rule and no correlation with a specific lag time. |
