Figure 4. Morphology features and hypothesized sand transport directions at East Pass, FL.
to produce hypotheses of sand transport in complex and dynamic coastal areas. These studies have
provided information necessary for design considerations in proper erosion control mitigation and channel
stabilization.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: For additional information on using coastal morphology indicators to
determine net drift directions contact Dr. Donald K. Stauble or Mr. Andrew Morang, Coastal Geology
Unit, Coastal Engineering Research Center, at (601) 634-2056 or (601) 634-2064.
