Stratigraphic Assessment of Sand Resources Offshore Holly and Peveto Beaches, Louisiana
Coastal communities and resorts of Johnson's Bayou, Ocean View Beach, Constance Beach, Peveto Beach, Holly Beach, and Hackberry Beach as well as Highway 82 are threatened by increasing beach erosion and storm-impact vulnerability. Several attempts have been made to armor the shoreline in this area; however, coastal protection experience in Louisiana and other U.S. coastal states indicates shoreline restoration projects are more effective and environmentally compatible than armoring a shoreline with a seawall. The primary objective of this study is to determine the textural characteristics of parent material in the Holly Beach and Constance Beach region to identify compatible offshore sources that will serve as borrow material for replenishment of these eroding coastal shorelines.
