Nov. 9th New Data Collected

This week I expanded my research sites. I collected my normal data at Port Hueneme Beach and we also collected at Hollywood Beach. Hollywood Beach is just north of Channel Islands Harbor and Port of Hueneme. Sand from the Santa Clara River Mouth travels south and builds up against the jetty at Hollywood beach. This is the dredged sand used to nourish Port Hueneme Beach. We took survey profiles, sand, and shoreline tracks. This comparison should be interesting to compare against Port Hueneme beach erosion. My prediction is that we will see similar sand types on both of the beaches. We will also see similar rates of erosion from Port Hueneme and nourishment on Hollywood. This week I also started analyzing my profile data. We can already see some of the changes occurring on the beach.
