Transect 1’s Significant Erosion

The most dramatic changes at Port Hueneme can be seen at Transect 1. The top photo taken in October had a beach length of 90 meters to the edge of the scarp. Currently (2/27/16), the beach is 5 meters to the edge of the scarp. As the sand is migrating south, more and more riprap is becoming exposed. I predict that within the next few months, Transect 1 will be completely underwater and unable to survey with the automatic level.
