| Description |
This report describes changes in shoreline morphology resulting from the removal of ~800 feet of shoreline armoring from the base of a historic feeder bluff at Edgewater Beach in South Puget Sound near Olympia, Washington. High-resolution, 3D topographic data were collected before and after bulkhead removal using boat-based lidar coupled with ground-based GNSS beach topography and sediment grain-size analysis. The restoration increased effective beach width and large woody debris, improved spawning habitat, and enhanced the sediment budget of the drift cell. |
