Shoreline Change Rate Estimates, Bay County
This work is part of an ongoing project to develop up-to-date shoreline erosion rate estimates for the Florida sandy beach coastline. The shoreline referred to is the approximate Mean High Water (MHW) elevation contour. The information compiled and analyses conducted are intended to provide quantitative and qualitative information on a county-by-county basis that may be used to assist in beach management planning, coastal regulation, and general shoreline analysis work. Quantitative erosion information will be focused on providing erosion estimates relative to currently active coastal processes in those places where no renourishment projects exist. Where renourishment or other similar sand fill projects of size exist, erosion rate estimates for the pre-project conditions will be attempted where possible. The data used for this analysis is from the Office of Beaches and Coastal Systems Historic Shoreline Database. The database includes beach and offshore profile field surveys, digitized historical shoreline and bathymetric maps, aerial photographs from the Office files, and numerous graphical representations of the data, all within a common set of horizontal and vertical controls.
