Seaside Circle (Access Point #6), a partially developed access point on the southern end of Gulf Boulevard, is a high traffic area with a healthy dune system that has fully recovered from the storm surge created by hurricanes Dolly and Ike.
The intent of the project is to establish representative values for sediment grain size, percent fines, sorting index, and other parameters to help establish guidelines for selecting borrow sources for beach nourishment projects.
This project evaluated the beach maintenance activities within the city and the potential impact of those activities on the beach and dune system. This allowed the GLO to better guide local governments in developing best management strategie
