This polygon dataset contains metrics used to estimate the Potential and Degradation of beach sites mapped at the extent of the nearshore zone. All Shoreline Process Units (SPUs) where Bluff-Backed Beach (BLB) is found under historic or current conditions were included for analysis. Potential and Degradation metrics are agglomerated in two different ways: 1) through the development of rank-sum indices that reduce all metrics to a single unitless score, and 2) through multivariate cluster analysis which groups sites with similar metric values. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 16 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The Beach Strategy aims to protect and restore sediment input and transport processes in littoral drift cells where wave energy results in bluff erosion that sustains beach structure. These analyses are intended to serve as a durable framework, allowing us to evaluate a proposed action and its ability to restore or protect ecosystem dynamics and services in the context of a site, a sub-basin and the region, providing a powerful basis for planning and prioritization.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
