Dade Regional Sediment
Budget, Florida
Shoreline and volumetric changes along the Dade County
shoreline performed for a previous Coastal Systems International,
Inc. study were updated to include the period between
1996 and 2000. From this update, changes extending from
Golden
Beach to Government Cut over a 20 year period were analyzed
in order to update a comprehensive sediment budget of
the entire region. In addition, detailed sediment transport
estimates in the vicinity of 63rd Street Hot Spot were
determined based upon the calculated volumetric changes
within the problem area. Cross-shore transport rates were
also quantified. The sediment transport investigations
resulted in the development of basic design parameters
for shore protection measures at the 63rd St. Hot Spot.
