摘要

One resource for understanding the successful use of retention structures is the record of existing structure performance. We have created a robust catalog of 211 engineered structures that have the potential to retain sandy beaches along California's 1,760-km open-ocean coastline. These structures include those designed in compliment with beach restoration projects, as well as those for which sand retention is auxiliary to the primary intended purpose. We have systematically documented the location of each structure and described its basic form, function, history, and local coastal setting with the assignment of 25 numerical and categorical attributes collected from historic records and aerial imagery. Areas of sandy beach that have accreted in the proximity of coastal engineering structures have been identified by the comparison of pre-structure and modern shoreline positions. The findings suggest that 15 million m~2, approximately 18%, of California's total exposed sandy beach area is presently retained in and behind fillet and salient beaches associated with anthropogenic structures. A statistical analysis of numerical attributes in our catalog indicates significant correlations between effective sediment retention and shoreline orientation, blocking distance and structure spacing. Net littoral drift rates are not found to be a significant factor in predicting decadal-scale sand retention effectiveness. This statewide record of structure characteristics is a useful tool for future coastal zone management including the use of engineered structures in combination with beach nourishment along high energy shorelines.
